So what the hell’s up with this supposed remake of 1981’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME? I know that at the beginning of the month, Mr. Ammon let us know that the flick was going to be filmed in 3D for Lionsgate. The 3D aspect worked so amazingly well for L-gate’s MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, so I get the point. However, it was said that MY BLOODY’s sequel was scrapped in order to remake BIRTHDAY. Huh?
Well, if that notion sounds pretty odd to you too, there’s good reason. Because now, the folks over at Shock have learned that a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME remake is currently not set up at any studios anywhere. Not Lionsgate, Sony, or Screen Gems. So where did all this 3D hub-bub come from? Your guess is as good as mine. I mean, it’s not like a studio would want to keep a project like this a huge secret.
Regardless, let’s just say that we can put HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME to rest for the time being. I don’t see anything wrong with eventually bringing it to the big screen again. It certainly worked for MY BLOODY V.
