Re-Animate Re-Animator


According to ShockTillYouDrop.com, "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.'

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 Jeffrey Combs would return to reprise his role, or if they'll find someone new to slip into Herbert West's lab coat."

The "Re-Animator" franchise was never financially successful, but it has a large cult following and a reboot can bring in a new generation of followers to this classic tale.

The only thing that I have to question about is the originality of Hollywood. I feel like half of my posts on this blog deal with remakes, reboots or sequels to films. There are a few gems that come out every now and then that are unique and maybe take a premise from another film but out a new spin on it.
Do you think that there are too many reboots, remakes and sequels coming out do do you believe it is just the right amount?

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
