Mel Gibson to write and direct wild bunch remake

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/m...os-1202955010/


Mel Gibson is coming on to write and direct a remake of the classic Sam Peckinpah western “The Wild Bunch” at Warner Bros.

Gibson will co-write with Bryan Bagby and also exec produce the pic.

The project is based on the classic Peckinpah film that follows an aging group of outlaws look for one last big score even as what they viewed as the wild west is slowly passing them by. The pic had an all-star cast that included William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sanchez and Ben Johnson.

Project marks the first directing gig for Gibson since 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” which earned him an Oscar nomination as director.

It’s unknown if Gibson’s “Wild Bunch” will be a straight remake or a different story.

WB has been trying to get the reboot off the ground for years and at one point had Will Smith interested in starring. As for when Gibson will shoot “The Wild Bunch” remains a mystery. He’s also trying to get his World War II film “Destroyer” into production. That film, with Mark Wahlberg attached to star, is currently looking for financing

Train to Busan Remake Is Happening with Producer James Wan


A Train to Busan Remake is officially in the works and it has become subject to a bidding war between several major studios. Not only was the South Korean zombie flick a huge hit, positioning it as something Hollywood was destined to do an English language remake of at some point, but James Wan, the man behind The Conjuring universe, and IT writer Gary Dauberman are now attached to the remake. As such, this is a project that has money written all over it.

According to a new report, New Line, Universal, Paramount, Lionsgate and Screen Gems are all in the mix for the Train to Busan remake. The package is expected to sell this week for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. There is no word on who may wind up in the director's chair or how soon production could get off the ground, but it doesn't sound like this is the kind of thing that will just sit on a shelf collecting dust. Whoever wins this bidding war is going to want to get this project moving in the right direction.

Director San-ho Yeon, who is currently working on Train to Busan 2, helmed the original to great success, with the movie earning $85 million worldwide. Only $2 million of that came from the U.S., which is typically where the lion's share of a movie's box office will come from. Not to mention that Train to Busan, which centers on a group of passengers who try to survive a deadly train ride from Seoul to Busan during a zombie outbreak, currently sits at a 96 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got critical acclaim, an interesting premise and proven box office potential to go along with an already promising creative team.

James Wan, as a director, helmed the two main chapters in The Conjuring series, as well as Furious 7 and the upcoming Aquaman for Warner Bros. He's also produced a ton of horror movies and has become a name closely associated with success. The same can be said of screenwriter Gary Dauberman who, despite not always hitting it out of the park with critics, writes movies that make money. IT was a ridiculous hit for Warner Bros. and New Line last year and, despite critical disapproval, The Nun has done big business so far. Dauberman also penned the script for next year's IT: Chapter 2, Annabelle and the upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie adaptation.

They seem like the perfect pair for a Train to Busan remake. But can they get the right director to bring this story to American audiences while retaining what made the original so great? It's going to be a fine line to walk, but it's off to a promising start. We'll be sure to keep you posted as new details on the project are made available.

First paragraph

Plus there is a couple of pictures as well

Jen and Sylvia Soska, the “twisted twins” who gained a cult following after their debut back in 2012 with American Mary, are taking a stab at a sleeper classic: Rabid.

Originally imagined by David Cronenberg, the sisters promise to honor his work with a fresh, female, perspective with a side or two of blood of course.


Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl and Jigsaw) shared first-looks of her starring role in Rabid. Fans will remember adult film star Marilyn Chambers originally starred as the main protagonist (or I guess antagonist depending on how you look at it) Rose.

Slight tweaks will be made, the shared images certainly have a sleeker look, but the sisters want to keep true to the film’s humble beginnings
