It
looks as though everyone’s favorite hockey masked psycho may be coming back from
the dead. For along time there have been rumors of a remake or
re-imagining of that unlucky day for Crystal Lake counselors, but for awhile
it seems the project had been stalled.
Not
so, according to the producing partners over at Platinum Dunes,
Andrew Form and Brad Fuller
gave word at the press conference for their latest "re-working" of
The Hitcher
which I attended. When asked about the project, Form
gave us this little bit of info,
"Well, we’re working on a script right now. Not in the first two quarters for
that movie; maybe at the end of next year. But right now we’re just working on
a screenplay."
When asked about possible directors,
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning", Jonathan Liebesman’s
name came up. "It all depends on his schedule. He’s
got a lot of things rolling around right now, so if he’s available and we have a
script… We’d love to work with him again; we had a great experience with him."
Let the bodies hit the floor!
