I'm a big fan of Hugos, this remake is sounding really good, I wish it would get here sooner.

They're remaking the Crow? I don't get it.... You can't. Like, you can't physically do it and pull it off. The Crow was perfect. Brandon Lee was flawless in that role, and cannot be replaced by anyone. Not to mention its only 14 years old! what the hell is wrong with america?

Anyone have anymore news on the remake of the Hellraiser film - have only just got into the original set!!! Who is going to be Pinhead? :confused:

Not to mention that every sequel was pretty much a remake, anyway, and were all atrocious.

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are scripting the "Hellraiser" remake for Dimension Films.

The writers, earning high six figures for the job, will be working on a hair-raising deadline. French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo ("Inside") are planning a spring start for the redo of the 1987 Clive Barker film, and the scribes will do a page-one rewrite from the set of "Midnight Man." The duo scripted that Dimension film and Dunstan is directing it.

The original pic, which introduced the now-iconic Cenobite torturer Pinhead, follows a man and wife living in an old house who are caught up in machinations by the man's brother, a Cenobite torture victim, to rejuvenate his skinless body from the carcasses of fresh victims.

Since their debut on the Project Greenlight pic 'Feast,' Melton and Dunstan are establishing themselves as fright fixtures. They are coming off "Saw 4" and "Saw 5" and also scripted a remake of "The Tingler" for producer Neal Moritz and Sony.

Clive Barker, who hatched the original "Hellraiser" franchise, is producing the remake.

All the old horror flicks being remade is definitely weird. Hopefully they can pull off Hellraiser. I really enjoyed Feast and thought they did an alright job on Saw 4 so this has potential if they can do it right.

- Adam Gierasch will write (with partner Jace Anderson) and direct a remake of Kevin Tenney’s 1988 shocker NIGHT OF THE DEMONS.

Gierasch got in touch with Fango to discuss his involvement and ambitions for the project. “I was approached by Kevin and [producing partner Greg McKay],” he tells Fango. “They came to see an early screening of [Gierasch’s directorial debut] AUTOPSY, and we put our heads together and decided it might be something fun for me to do. Kevin is very involved; I talk to him all the time, and he’s got a lot of good ideas. The original movie presents a palette to do a new and exciting demons-chasing-people-around-the-house-on-Halloween movie, with some really cool gore and creatures, and to give the demons individual personalities. I want to try my best to create the ultimate Halloween movie.”

The big question for fans of the first film is: Will there be a reprise of Linnea Quigley’s infamous lipstick gag? “Let’s just say there will be a version of the famous lipstick scene,” Gierasch reveals, “but it’s going to be much, much, much more extreme. I want to make sure fans of the original like this one, and remain true to its spirit—just more nasty, sexual and extreme. I’m really going to try to go hog-f**kin’ wild with it!”

"[DEMONS] is a modern take but Angela is still in it," Gierasch tells the site, referring to the vicious possessed girl, played by Amelia Kinkade (pictured in the first of two subsequent DEMONS sequels). "It's got blood, guts, Halloween, breasts, kids, demons and everything else that makes life worth living."

DEMONS 2008 will go into production in the spring.

I agree for the most part. I think the second had a few moments. But it wasn't enough to save it.

- Both Shock Till You Drop and Bloody-Disgusting have been tipped off (and have confirmed) that Platinum Dunes is planning to remake Rosemary's Baby for Paramount Pictures.

The 1968 horror film from legendary director Roman Polanski follows a young couple who move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life.

Dunes is currently casting their remake of Friday the 13th as they are finishing up gearing up for The Unborn, which will shoot in Chicago this month.

They can go fuck them selfs, I have to stop reading this thread, it just depresses me..
