Dimension Films and Miramax announced today that THE AMITYVILLE HORROR: THE LOST TAPES has been green lit. They’ve acquired the rights to a screenplay for the film by Casey La Scala and cool cat Daniel Farrands, who are also set to direct the film this summer for a planned January 27, 2012 release date.
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR: THE LOST TAPES will go into the events that went down after the original The Amityville Horror book and movie through found footage dating back to 1976. Here’s the synopsis: An ambitious female television news intern, on the verge of breaking the most famous haunted house case in the world, leads a team of journalists, clergymen and paranormal researchers into an investigation of the bizarre events that will come to be known as The Amityville Horror … only to unwittingly open a door to the unreal that she may never be able to close.
Bob Weinstein had this to say about the project: “We are thrilled to return to the mythology of the Amityville Horror with a new and terrifying vision that will satisfy our existing fans and also introduce an entirely new audience to this popular haunting phenomenon.” Question is; after a slew of dreadful sequels and an “okay” remake; do you even give a shite? Spit your thoughts below!
Rachel Nichols from the Amityville Horror remake…yum…
