Horror Week: The Fog Remake
From Joblo.com:
"Let's see, so far we've had remakes of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, DAWN OF THE DEAD, AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE GRUDGE amongst many others and now comes word that Revolution plans on remaking John Carpenter's THE FOG. Can a remake of KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE be far off? The good news though is that Carpenter is involved in this current incarnation of his classic 1980 film so there is hope. The original film followed the events of a thick fog that rolled in to a Northern California town bringing with it the ghosts of a bunch of seamen (hehe, I said seamen) who had died as the result of a similar fog 100 years back. Cooper Layne (THE CORE) is writing the script and while Carpenter won't direct the remake he will be involved creatively with the project. And getting back to the aforementioned glut of horror remakes, Carpenter says he's even contemplating remaking horror icon HALLOWEEN. HALLOWEEN!! Is nothing sacred? Next thing you know they'll want to get Freddie Prinze, Jr. to star in a remake of THE SHINING. The studio is looking to get started filming in February prepping for a Halloween 2005 release. Another Carpenter remake, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne, will hit theaters next year (the trailer will debut in front of AFTER THE SUNSET on November 12th)."
