Sure it’s already in English and only a couple of years old! Who cares about all that? Housebound (review) is already getting the remake treatment. Are you excited for this new version or just too lazy to buy the existing DVD?

THR reports that New Line has picked up the remake rights of the horror comedy from New Zealand that has earned praise from Lord of the Rings filmmaker Peter Jackson.

Gerard Johnstone, who wrote and directed the movie, will produce the remake but will hand over the filmmaking reins to another. A search for a writer to adapt the movie is under way.

The story tells of a rebellious young woman who is forced to return to her country home thanks to a home detention program. Living with her small-town-minded mother and stepfather seems like a fate worse than death until she begins to suspect that something malevolent may be in the house as well.
