Legendary Entertainment (Godzilla vs. Kong) has snagged the rights to give Faces of Death a 21st-century makeover with the goal of launching a new horror franchise.
Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber (Cam) will write and direct. Mazzei and Goldhaber also worked on Quibi horror anthology 50 States of Fright.
Synopsis:
A female moderator of a YouTube-like website whose job is to weed out offensive and violent content and who herself is recovering from a serious trauma, who stumbles across a group that is re-creating the murders from the original film. But in the story primed for the digital age of online misinformation, the question is: Are the murders real or fake?
Susan Montford and Don Murphy are producing. Cory Kaplan will co-produce. Rick Benattar will exec produce. John Burrud, the producer of the original movies, will also work on the new iteration. Legendary also has a remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre titled Texas Chainsaw Begins.
Faces of Death (later re-released as The Original Faces of Death) is a 1978 American mondo horror film written and directed by John Alan Schwartz, credited under the pseudonyms “Conan LeCilaire” and “Alan Black” respectively.
