As he prepares to unleash The Neon Demon, Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn is also prepping a handful of other projects, including remakes of William Lustig’s Maniac Cop and the 1968 British horror film Witchfinder General. He will produce both projects, and they’re not the only remakes on his slate.
Per Deadline, Refn will partner with longtime collaborate Fulvio Lucisano on a remake of Massimo Dallamano’s 1972 giallo film What Have You Done to Solange? Like the other remakes he’s developing, Refn will produce the film through his label Space Rocket, though he doesn’t plan on directing.
Loosely based on the Edgar Wallace mystery novel The Clue of the New Pin, What Have You Done to Solange? is set at an all-girls school where a killer is on the loose. Gym teacher Enrico Rosseni, who has been sleeping with one of his students, becomes a suspect and sets out to find the real killer.
Refn calls the original an “absolutely incredible Italian giallo movie. One of the great, great horror films from the period.”
The remake will be shot in Los Angeles.
