Another Amityville Horror Remake?? - Bojangles - 11-28-2009
Quote:I just finished wiping away the tears of laughter as I just discovered that the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films are planning on remaking The Amityville Horror...again. Andrew Douglas directed the 2005 reboot produced by Platinum Dunes that grossed over $100m at the box office worldwide. I guess five years in the new 25? Our sources also tell us that there just might be a director already in talks to develop the project. Knowing Dimension Films, I'd expect this project to start and stop at least a dozen times before it ultimately fails. Alas horror fiends, don't stress it no matter how idiotic this sounds.The original 1979 film followed newlyweds as they move into a house where a murder was committed, and experience strange manifestations which drive them away. MGM also retains different rights and were planning on developing The Amityville Tapes, which has been put on the back burner while MGM figures out their financial woes (auction anyone?).
Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting

As I finish the paragraph, I suddenly hear the word "Unnecessary?" in my ear... my house may be haunted, but I concur ._.
Both original and remake were OK, about as good as you'd expect a film based on true events/remake to be... I doubt another remake would do much to break up the mediocrity :/

I liked both, but we don't need ANOTHER remake 4 years from the last remake. What the hell?

I can feel that. Honestly that's more than a bit overkill, cheap if you ask me... Unless they have a damn good idea of how to bring something slam-bang to the table you have to wonder what the whole mindset was X(

Money. I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm shocked they're already remaking it AGAIN. Seriously, I didn't see that one coming.

That's my point, you'd think if they wanted to do a roadrunner-fast cash-in they'd use a more known property... I'd guess A) They're going after the "true events" craze when it's actually big, or B) they figure since less people know about AH they don't need to try as hard -_-
