Re-Animator remake....in 3-D

Grim · 03-01-2009, 12:02 AM

"The good doctor Herbert West has defied death before and now he's looking to make a comeback. Not in a sequel, however, but in a remake. (C'mon, don't act surprised.)

ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned producer Ray Haboush is developing a remake of Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator. Haboush operates Automatic Media and is the owner of Halcyon International Pictures. He'll be shepherding the project with Brian Yuzna, producer of the original '85 and director of Bride of Re-Animator and Beyond Re-Animator.

There have been talks in the past of a House of Re-Animator and a television series. None of which have come to fruition.

Haboush and Yuzna are looking to do the remake in 3-D. And since it's so early in the game, there's no word as to whether Combs would return to reprise his role, or if they'll find someone new to slip into Herbert West's lab coat."

wow thats surprising....

I think I dropped from the shock...

Hmm, I didn't hate the Dawn of the Dead remake, though it wasn't as good as the original by a country mile. I hope this falls into that category, and not into the "wow that really sucked why did they bother" category.

(I would be truly shocked if it fell into the Thing-category, and surpassed the original)

Wow, a remake based off a movie based off an old old story. Not losing sleep over this one, I'll see it.

Yeah who knows. This may end up being not so much a remake of the 1985 film, but a new take on the source material. Though, I think the absurd comedic nature of Gordon's film would lend itself well to the 3-D treatment.

i still wished house of re animator would get made but with this bad news it doesn't look like it

rxfiend · 03-01-2009, 01:43 AM

I hope its a new take on the story, rather than a remake of the film.

fattyjoe37 · 03-01-2009, 02:10 AM

I don't really care to see a Herbert West not played by Jeffrey Combs.

Combs has to play Herbert West

Grim · 03-01-2009, 02:53 AM

If it was Combs to play West again, they would have to substantially change the story as there's no way he could pass as someone in their 20's in med school. Still, I'm intrigued to see what happens with this one.

Damn these remakes are really pissing me the fuck off. Re-Animator is one of my all time favorite films, and I think it's perfect on its own. With everyone going remake crazy, it wouldn't surprise me if they remake hostel, or Saw in 5 years by the rate it's going.

I would say the best possible outcome of this remake would be a new special edition of bride of reanimator.

03-03-2009, 12:06 AM

This doesn't need a remake, but hopefully a nice special Uncut edition of Bride will come out.

Angelman · 03-03-2009, 12:20 AM

I don't mind re-makes but enough already.

Bring on the 3-D! I love this resurgence in the gimmick; a total blast. Will watch 'em if they keep makin' 'em.
