    Plot Synopsis:

    Follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood ’s Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer’s grisly methods are identical to that of London ’s infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper – a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?

    Molina and Davis Join Lodger Redux

    Sony’s Stage 6, their low budget horror arm, has got some serious casting for the upcoming remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger, which is one of those few remakes no one seems to get too angry about. Is it because they’re saying it’s actually a re-adaptation of the book by Marie Belloc Lowndes that inspired Hitchcock rather than a straight remake? Cause they’re saying the same thing about The Birds too, you know...

    Lodger Updated Again

    Another Lodger update, eh? It seems like one of these crops up every few years, but nothing ever comes of them for some reason.

    21st Century Lodger

    It’s not the first time it’s happened, both John Brahm and Hugo Fregonese have tackled them in the past, so it shouldn't be surprising that another remake of Alfred Hitchock’s The Lodger is being planned, this time under the eye of writer/director David Ondaatje, according to the hounds at Production Weekly.
