New Details Emerge Of ‘The Witches’ Reboot

Last year we reported that the classic The Witches is headed for a reboot. Today we have an update. Robert Zemeckis is set to direct the new adaptation of the novel penned by Ronald Dahl, which was first adapted by Nicolas Roeg back in 1990. Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron will be producing. Zemeckis revealed a little tidbit to Allocine, saying that the new film will have a different setting and will stay closer to the original tale. We’re going to set it in the Gothic South in the 1960s. It’s an exciting way to put a sociological spin on this kind of witch story.” Zemeckis stated. The 1990 film follows a seven-year-old boy who finds himself in danger after stumbling across a convention of real-life witches and must find a way to stop them.

Johannes Roberts Set To Direct ‘Resident Evil’ Reboot

Constantin Films has found a director for their Resident Evil franchise reboot and it happens to be one of our favorite directors, Johannes Roberts. Roberts will also be co-writing the movie, Variety reports. Roberts has a killer record when it comes to horror and thrillers. He’s the director that brought us 47 Meters Down, and The Strangers: Prey at Night, and the underrated film The Other Side of the Door. Based on the video game, Resident Evil follows Alice (Milla Jovovich) as she battles her way through hordes of zombies terrorizing Raccoon City after an Umbrella Corp. experiment goes terribly wrong unleashing the undead plague. Co-writer Greg Russo promised fans just a week ago that the movie will return to the game’s horror roots. Obviously, I’m a huge fan of the franchise so to work on that was a lot of fun,” said Russo. “For me it was very clear-cut that I wanted to go back and make it scary

An Update On New Line’s ‘Friday The 13th’ Reboot

Just as production was set to begin on a new Friday the 13th reboot from director Breck Eisner (The Crazies), the brakes were hit. Not much has been said about the situation, until now. Rights to the franchise are set to revert back to New Line sometime next year. But a lawsuit from the original film’s writer Victor Miller (interview) may cause problems for the studio. ArrowInTheHead.com recently talked with Platinum Dunes producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller about the situation. One of the biggest heartbreaks of the last couple years was that we were about to make that movie and it fell apart. That still hurts,” Fuller said. “The fans reach out to us; Andrew doesn’t really engage because he’s not on Twitter, but I am and I hear from the fans and that’s all they ask about. We get asked about that more than anything else.” He continued. “Fans think it’s so simple, that if we want to

Following her directorial debut in a segment of the female driven horror anthology XX, musician Annie Clark (St. Vincent) will be rebooting 1945’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Kent Nicholas is directing from the script that he penned with Douglas Sarine. Currently the film is development and will be produced by M. Dal Walton III, according to Movie Insider. In the original, directed by John De Bello, a group of scientists banded together to save the world from mutant killers tomatoes. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes spawned three sequels and an animated series that ran from 1990 to 1991. Part horror, part comedy, and part musical, the film is truly a classic. Here’s the original trailer. If you haven’t seen the movie, I recommend that you do so immediately.

‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ Reboot Still Alive

Back in 2015 we reported that a new Nightmare on Elm Street reboot was in the works. Last August we confirmed that David Leslie Johnson (Orphan, The Conjuring 2) will be penning the script. After that, very little was mentioned about the reboot, until now. When news came that Johnson will writing The Conjuring 3, fans and new sites took to IMDb to learn that Johnson is still attached to the film and that the plot had been “leaked”, or so they were supposed to believe. The reality is that anyone can edit IMDb. The plot is 100% fake, thankfully. It’s a terrible plot. One thing we do know is that sadly, it’s not likely that we will see Robert Englund reprise his role as Freddy. It just won’t be the same without Englund. The faux plot: “When Brandon Higgins begins to appear in other people’s dreams at will, he has no idea that he is the illegitimate son of
