RKO Movies Find New Life
Evolution Entertainment's horror division Twisted Pictures has formed a joint venture with RKO Pictures and plans to remake four genre movies from the RKO library, including The Body Snatcher and I Walked With a Zombie, Variety reported.
The companies will co-finance development and production of Body Snatcher, a 1945 Robert Wise-directed thriller that starred Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff; the 1943 Zombie; and the 1946 Karloff film Bedlam. They've yet to select the fourth title from the RKO vault.
The films are out to writers and directors, some of whom are expected to come from Evolution Management.
