Rogue Remaking Craven's Last House

A remake of The Last House on the Left, the 1972 horror classic that established Wes Craven as a filmmaker, is being developed at Rogue Pictures for production in early 2007. Craven and longtime producing partner Marianne Maddalena will produce the new version with the original film's producer, Sean S. Cunningham. Rogue co-presidents Andrew Karpen and Andrew Rona made the announcement today.

Rogue will hold worldwide rights to the remake, for which a director is being sought. The new film will hew closely to the plot of the earlier version, which tracked the fate of a group of murderers as vengeful parents of the victims mete out punishment to fit the crimes.

Another of Craven's early works, The Hills Have Eyes, was recently remade; Craven co-produced the remake with Maddalena and Peter Locke. That film became a boxoffice hit earlier this year; a sequel, written by Craven and his son Jonathan, is in production for release by Fox Atomic in March. Martin Weisz is directing the sequel, which is again produced by Craven, Maddalena, and Locke.

Karpen and Rona said, "We're excited about working with this talented team of filmmakers to create a new take on this seminal movie that will scare the wits out of a whole new generation of filmgoers."

its going to be called "the second last house on the left' and will involve mostly some nasty name calling.

i think it will be interesting if they really put effort into making the film disturbing. i hope its one of the films that doesnt manage to hit the theater, because that will probably mean its nothing special.

but the old one doesnt effect me to much, i would like to be able to see what they can do with a new one.

wonder if they're going to film the "machete rape" scene this time 'round

from the trailer, this has "direct to a bargain bin near you" written all over it

Didt they just do this?

Sure, they opted not to officially call it a remake, but the original idea for "Chaos" was to be a LHOTL remake.
