It must be that time of year, since here’s more news on yet another remake, this time for a flim whose highlight was a guy eating a quarter (seriously).
Tim Cox (the dude responsible for Sci-Fi Channel fare like LARVA and MAMMOTH), recently sat down with IFMagazine to discuss his new project: the 1984 cheese-fest C.H.U.D. Currently, Cox and Brook Durham are in the process of penning the treatment for the remake based on the film about mutant carivores living in the sewers. “…we can hopefully pull it off as well as recent revisions such as DAWN OF THE DEAD and THE HILLS HAVE EYES. Our version is much darker, grittier and down-right surrealistic compared to the original film, but we think fans will appreciate the fresh approach…it’s classic, no holds barred horror.”
I’ll be honest with you folks in saying I never did see the original, and more or less relied on humourous summaries of the film much like this one. Plus I’ve never seen any of Cox’s stuff, so I can’t comment in that area, either. He sounds pretty enthusiastic about the project, so hopefully that enthusiasm translates into a fun ride.
