Taking a step back behind the camera in the follow-up to his 2005 effort "Romance & Cigarettes", John Turturro is about to direct "1-900", which turns out to be the third film in the Theo Van Gogh remake trilogy.

Pic is said to be a new version of slain Dutch filmmaker Van Gogh's 1994 movie "06" revolving around two lonely souls who meet through a sex chat line. It is titled after the digits required to dial such lines in the Netherlands.
