A remake of the 1973 classic terror tale Don’t Look Now is on its way. The Hollywood Reporter reports that StudioCanal is revisiting the movie with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman of The Picture Company on board to produce a new iteration.
No writer is attached, but the producers and company are looking to follow a similar game plan they worked with their remake of Escape from New York: finding the project a studio home and then attaching writing talent. Studios are already expressing interest in Don’t Look Now.
In the original film Donald Sutherland (Klute) and Julie Christie (Darling) mesmerize as a married couple on an extended trip to Venice following a family tragedy. While in that elegantly decaying city, they have a series of inexplicable, terrifying, and increasingly dangerous experiences.
A masterpiece from Nicolas Roeg (Walkabout), Don’t Look Now, adapted from a story by Daphne du Maurier (Rebecca), is a brilliantly disturbing tale of the supernatural, as renowned for its innovative editing and haunting cinematography as its explicit eroticism and unforgettable denouement, one of the great endings in horror history.
