Remake

The third annual Grimm Up North Horror Festival, which takes place in Manchester, England, from October 6th to October 9th, has announced the first film on its 2011 roster, and it's Martin Kemp's directorial debut Stalker, starring Billy Murray, Jane March, and Linda Hayden.

Producer Jonathan Sothcott dropped us a line today with an update on Martin Kemp's Stalker along with a few exclusive stills featuring Jane March and ex-Hammer horror actress Linda Hayden. There's also a bit of news for those of you in the UK planning to attend Film4 Frightfest 2011.

It's been a long while since last we had anything to report on Exposé, a remake of the 1970's film of the same name, which is now known as Stalker. But the passage of time has been kind, and now we're sporting a trailer and some new eye candy! Martin Kemp's feature film debut is set to stalk cinemas across the UK from October 10th, ahead of its DVD release on October 17th.

For the past three years Hammer Films has been developing a remake of the Jacques Tourneur 1942 classic Cat People, which was already remade once in 1982 by acclaimed director Paul Schrader. After years of talk it looks as if someone is finally ready to step up to the plate, and he has a star already in mind.

Not content with just remaking different kinds of American projects, Hollywood has outstretched its claws across the pond so that it may dig into another popular UK series.

The ever-working producer Jonathan Sothcott dropped us a line today to inform us that Exposé, a remake of the 1970's film of the same name, has undergone a title change, and of course he hit us off with some new artwork as well. The flick has been renamed to Stalker because as Sothcott put it, "The title Exposé doesn't really mean anything, and it just wasn't sticking." Synopsis

In addition to Dead Cert, which he just provided us an update on, producer Jonathan Sothcott has also been working on Exposé, a remake of the 1970's film of the same name. He dropped us a line with some info on Exposé along with a still, the trailer, and the poster art.

Quick! Of all the directors best equipped to take the reins on a remake of David Cronenberg’s The Brood, which one comes to your mind? If you said anyone other than the director of Sahara, you’re dead wrong.

As we’ve told you already, Darren Lynn Bousman’s Mother’s Day remake is currently filming in the Great White North. The production was interrupted this past Saturday by Canadian police after mistaking a faux bank robbery for the real deal! Read on for the skinny!

Oh my. With Zombieween II just around the corner you can now feast your eyes on one of the most ridiculous looking things that will likely come out of Friday's cinematic experience should you decide to subject yourself to it. It's just so silly, regardless of context.

In a rare display of common sense, it seems that the powers that be behind the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer big screen remake tried extending an olive branch to creator Joss Whedon in the hopes of getting him involved in the project.

It’s been a bit since much has been said about the upcoming remake of Children of the Corn, quite possibly the last in the line of Stephen King books that needed another filmed version of it.

A couple of new posters for Friday the 13th have shown up online, and you can dig their groovy look below. The Platinum Dunes franchise reboot is in theaters on Friday, February 13th, 2009, and so far looks pretty damn kickass. Keep it here for more as the release approaches!

Not a huge update, but make sure you have your calendars handy; we just got word from Rogue that the Last House on the Left redux will be hitting theaters on March 13th, 2009. Will it be as gritty and nasty as the original? Check out the trailer below and see if that helps answer the question...

We don’t make a big deal out of it, mainly because we still don’t have an index listing of all the films, but our database is a wealth of information for most of the movies we report on here on Dread. Case in point: My Bloody Valentine 3D, which opens tomorrow.
