Last House Left to Remake

It seems no classic horror can be left un-remade. Rogue Pictures is developing a redux of Wes Cravens twisted 1972 classic THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Production is scheduled to being in early 2007.

Craven and longtime producing partner Marianne Maddalena will produce the new version with the original film's producer, Sean S. Cunningham.

Rogue will hold worldwide rights to the remake, for which a director is being sought. The new film will hew closely to the plot of the earlier version, which tracked the fate of a group of murderers as vengeful parents of the victims mete out punishment to fit the crimes.

Rogue co-presidents Andrew Karpen and Andrew Rona said, in a statement, "We're excited about working with this talented team of filmmakers to create a new take on this seminal movie that will scare the wits out of a whole new generation of filmgoers."

Another of Craven's early works, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, was recently remade; Craven co-produced the remake with Maddalena and Peter Locke. That film became a box office hit earlier this year; a sequel, written by Craven and his son Jonathan, is in production for release by Fox Atomic in March. Martin Weisz is directing the sequel, which is again produced by Craven, Maddalena and Locke.
