I believe the remake is no longer happening.
This particular movie I have bought in several different versions, on VHS, laserdisc, and this recent DVD. This new 35th anniversary DVD is not a longer version than what I've seen before, and I think that previous running times have been listed incorrectly. (There aren't any additional "gory scenes" or fun stuff like that, it's the same cut that has been widely available. It's always been uncut, to my knowledge, excepting an Anchor Bay UK version that featured a shortened version of the film released to drive-ins--and what was missing was about 10 minutes of dialogue.)
This new DVD version has neat extras like a commentary track featuring Alan Ormsby, Anya Ormsby and Jane Daly; and a Q&A session with crewmembers videotaped at a screening last year. The big downside is that this new DVD features the darkest transfer I've seen of the film, overall. Previous (brighter) transfers of the film have revealed the grain but at least you could see what was going on, and that is not always the case with this new transfer.
