Production

Following the premiere of Pulse at the Un Certain Regard, Dimension Films acquired the rights to the Japanese film, as well as the rights to a remake. Wes Craven was attached to Pulse shortly thereafter. Kiyoshi Kurosawa, director of the original film, was initially expected to helm the remake before Craven became officially involved. By June 2002, Craven had written the script with Vince Gilligan, with Kirsten Dunst eyed for the lead role.

In March 2005, reports indicated that Craven was still involved with the project. Yet when talking to Fangoria at the time of the film's release, Craven said he was not involved in the making of the film. At the end of the month, Kristen Bell and Steve Talley joined the cast. Ian Somerhalder and Christina Milian rounded out the cast in April and June.

Principal production for Pulse lasted between June and September 2005 in Bucharest, Romania.
