Deal Includes Near Dark Remake
Michael Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, has made a three-year, first-look deal with Rogue Pictures to develop horror films, including a a remake of the 1987 vampire movie Near Dark, Variety reported.

Rogue, the genre arm of Universal-based Focus Features, has made a deal with Platinum's Bay (director of the upcoming Transformers) and partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. The trio will produce horror films budgeted under $25 million and receive as much as 10 percent of the first-dollar gross, one of the richest producer deals in town. Platinum has already completed production on a Rogue remake of The Hitcher, for April release.

The Near Dark remake, about a cowboy wooed into joining a roving band of vampires, will be helmed by Samuel Bayer. Matt Venne is writing the script, and Charles Meeker and Amy Kaufman also produce. Production begins early next year.

The deal will also include a remake of 1987's The Changeling, which Rogue already had on its development roster. Separately, Platinum Dunes is remaking Hitchcock's The Birds for Universal Pictures.

Blah, Micheal Bay should be shot multiple times in the face.

I have actually seen any of these movies, Im just sick of hearing his name in the same sentence as "remake".

I am one of the few horror fans who couldn't stand Near Dark. Maybe this means I could tolerate a remake.

oh man

Near Dark was great

:eek: say what nigga?

I know, I re-read that 4-5 times myself.

BLASPHEMY!!! It was one of the best, IMO!!! :cool:

Yeah, I just don't get why Near Dark is supposed to be so good. It is not even mildly scary, and I just can't buy Bill Paxton's character at all. He comes off as comic, and I don't think that was what they were going for.
