Remake Hell



I hate remakes, especially horror remakes. But according to Ain't it cool News they are remaking a classic...The Fury.

Here the news from Variety:

Fox 2000 is set to bring Brian De Palma’s “The Fury” back to the bigscreen.

The label has tapped Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman to pen a contemporary reimagining of the 1978 supernatural horror film.

New version will center on a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government in order to take advantage of his special gifts.

Original, starring Kirk Douglas and John Cassavetes and released by 20th Century Fox, was based on John Farris’ 1976 novel of the same name.

Why? Why? This movie don't need a remake! Farris wrote other books... Could they bank on those novels? Lord, I need a drink!
