Another remake: "Cannibal Holocaust"
 
Relevant to Recreate Cannibal Holocaust
Source: Variety
February 2, 2007


Relevant Entertainment has acquired rights to and will remake the 1980 cult horror film Cannibal Holocaust, says Variety. It is aiming for a summer start.

The original film, directed by Italian helmer Ruggero Deodato, has been banned in dozens of countries due to its gore and violence. The film centers on a professor traveling to South America to find out what happened to a film crew that disappeared while shooting a documentary about reputed cannibal tribes. He eventually discovers the remains of the crew and several reels of undeveloped film, which show the disastrous consequences of the crew's decision to provoke the natives.

Deodato shot the pic in documentary style and was jailed briefly after the Italian premiere until he could prove the actors were unharmed.

Relevant is in pre-production on Haunting in Connecticut for Gold Circle/Lionsgate and is developing The Tortoise and the Hippo for Walden Media and Pledged for Paramount.

Man.

Its apparent originality has escaped through the window.

Although it might be decent..im pretty sure it wont surpass the original.

Curious as to how they will re-create some of the gore scenes. As long as it isnt CGI, the film might make a couple bucks.

The funny thing is, the original was banned and was considered to be sooo shocking, horrifying and aberrant at the time it was made, but it's pretty tame by today's standards...I'm betting the remake will have WAY more gore, sex and nudity in general, yet will hardly even cause a stir...

You have to be fucking kidding me...A remake of Cannibal Holocaust!? Who in their right mind would even remake something like this?? The only reason it even has a title today is because of the controversy because the animal killing was real and the rape scenes. This was a stupid movie to start with, and a remake will be even worse.
