According to Shock Till You Drop, a remake of THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE is being mulled over by Fox Atomic for a possible remake, or udpating, as they so cleverly like to say. Nothing is official at this point, but sources say it’s definitely in talks. For the most part, I dig Fox Atomic’s movies- but the production company/ distributor doesn’t make a movie good- or worth watching.
It may rest on the shoulders of how I AM LEGEND does at the box office, as the original story of ‘Hell House’ was written by LEGEND writer Richard Matheson. Not sure at this point if it’d be a retelling of the story, or a remake of the 1973 film- which actually makes me rethink calling this a remake at all, and more of a re-adaptation of a novel (as the novel was the original source material).
Either way, I’m still on the bench with this beast- could be cool cause Atomic keeps things hip and stylish (thus far, anyway), but tackling a Matheson story can be dangerous… stick around for more as we hear it, and check out the original scoop by clicking HERE
