Bob Clark horror classic getting remade
As previously mooted, muttered and mentioned, a remake of “Black Christmas” is on the way. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dimension Films have acquired U.S. distribution rights to the classic horror effort.
The news comes just weeks after the Weinstein Co. announced that 2929’s Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner have each invested $10 million in the Weinstein Co.
In the film, the few remaining residents of a Canadian sorority house are celebrating the onset of Christmas vacation when a thirteen year-old girl is found dead in the park. Soon, it is discovered that one of the sorority sisters is missing, which triggers a terrifying chain of murders within the house.
Also, the two companies will partner on 2929’s upcoming comedy “Fast Track,” with the Weinstein Co. distributing in the U.S. and Canada.
“Black Christmas,” from the writer-producer-director team of James Wong and Glen Morgan, will start production in January for a Christmas 2006 release.
