"Fright Night" remake
 
This is getting ridiculous:

EXCL: Screen Gems De-Fangs Fright Night?
Source: Ryan Rotten
September 18, 2007


"You have to have FAITH for that to work...Misssster Vinccccent, remember?" spits vampire Jerry Dandrige in the face of a holy cross held by Peter Vincent in Tom Holland's Fright Night. And, for this rabid "Night" fan, faith is something I've held onto during these dark days of Hollywood remakes. Faith that the Fright Night property would go untouched. Un-"remade."

Screw that.

ShockTillYouDrop.com discovered Sony's Screen Gems is sifting through Hollywood's supply of writers for a Fright Night redo. But this one, from the sounds of it, is "in name only." A sundry of sources tell us executive producer Scott Strauss who may or may not still be attached and who recently shepherded Breach, starring Ryan Phillippe, and executive produced Robert Englund's Killer Pad, wants to take Fright Night in a different direction. One involving an amusement park in some way.

Our immediate thought is "They're remaking Tobe Hooper's Funhouse and calling it Fright Night." We haven't heard a peep yet regarding how Gems is coming along with the pitch process, but we'll keep you in the loop!

You can't remake "Fright night". That movie was close to being a perfect horror comedy.


but they can go ahead and remake the sequal. I won't mind that..

Well, I am sure that who ever is in charge is reading this now, and thinking....."well, since ANGRA thinks its a bad idea........we're putting a stop to this pronto " ;)

Seriously, its a bad idea, tired of the remakes, etc, etc..... its just never going to end. They are going to be remaking films that are a year old before its over with.....and we'll be bombarded with remakes of remakes....:rolleyes:

"Fright Night" remake
 
Another remake in the works..how original:



Mad Men's Noxon Penning Fright Night
Source:The Hollywood Reporter
November 12, 2009


"Mad Men" writer/producer Marti Noxon has been hired to write the script for DreamWorks Studios' redo of the 1985 horror comedy Fright Night.

Before her work on AMC's "Mad Men," Noxon was a writer/producer on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."

In the 1985 original, written and directed by Tom Holland, was a horror comedy about a teenager who discovers that his neighbors are vampires. The updated version will keep the comedy-horror tone while modernizing the effects.
