Fright-ful Remake In The Works

Even 'Evil Ed' is in agony over this remake

Dreamworks is wrapping their hands around the latest unfortunate film to take the slate on the remake department as the Tom Holland’s 1985 classic Fright Night gets thrown onto the slab. The upcoming remake will be a more modernized take on the story with an obvious boost up on the effects, even though the effects for the original still hold up. Michael Gaeta and Allison Rosenzweig of Gaeta/Rosenzweig Films are both going to be producing, along with producer Michael De Luca who’s attached to upcoming adaptations of Metal Gear Solid and Priest.

Nobody is set to pen the script yet but it’ll be a matter of time when a scribe is hired. What would you do if you realized that your charming next-door neighbor was actually a bloodthirsty vampire? This is the dilemma Charley must confront when he notices some rather strange occurrences on the block. His solution is to enlist the aid of Peter Vincent, a has-been horror film actor who now hosts “Fright Night,” a local TV show. Together, the duo set out to rid Charley of his coffin-dwelling neighbor–but their plans go awry when the suave bloodsucker realizes they’re on to him. No note yet on when it is set to be released, but when the latest news comes out for this upcoming remake, all of us here at Atomic Popcorn will have it up for you.
