First paragraph

That’s right, Hollywood is remaking The Exorcist. Since the news came the day after it was announced Will Smith and Kevin Hart will be remaking beloved ’80s comedy Planes, Trains And Automobiles, the Internet seems to have taken it pretty hard. Everyone knows remakes are awful, and everyone wants to be the first to cry about it. What’s next? A CGI Citizen Kane?! The Godfather with women?! Gone With The Wind without the racism?! Everything that was ever good once should be left alone forever and remakes only ever prove just how dumb Hollywood really is.

Covid stopping Hollywood movie production isn't entirely a bad thing.

I seriously can not imagine how bad it’ll probably be .

Kill Bill’s Vivica A. Fox is a badass. She is always absolutely fierce in her roles and she just seems like one of those people that sort of embodies the very meaning of cool. That’s why its pretty interesting to report that she is playing a large role in the upcoming Night of the Living Dead remake.

This is a situation where we have to take the bad with the good. The bad news is that, once again Night of the Living Dead is being remade. But, the silver lining on that is that Fox will play the role of Ben. Both Duane Jones and Tony Todd have played the iconic role that flipped the systems of class and race on their head.

Fox will once again flip the expectation coming at it from not only a strong African American but also a strong female African American. Again, I just want reiterate that she always manages to bring something really cool to the roles she plays, and I’m sure that she will do the same here with Ben.

Do we really need another Night of the Living Dead remake? George Romero’s original was a game changer. The Tom Savini directed 1990 Night of the Living dead was good too. It brought a lot of gore to the picture and really clearly respected Romero’s source material.

And then there was the mess that followed. Night of the Living Dead 3D, Night of the Living Dead: Genesis… the list goes on and on. So, I share in your hesitancy, but I’ll at least take the fact that they are going to bring Fox into the whole thing.

Christopher Ray directs Fox in this iteration and the whole thing will follow this provided synopsis.

“A worldwide event where the dead awake and roam the earth as zombies, a small group of human survivors struggle to stay alive and fight off the wandering-zombies who are intent on eating them and turning them into the walking dead.”

So, we will just have to wait till 2021 to see how this one turns out. Below you can find the sales art, that is clearly not going to be the finished product.

Exclusive: Jordan Peele Mounting ‘The People Under the Stairs’ Remake at Universal


After directing Get Out and Us for Universal, Jordan Peele is set to produce a remake of The People Under the Stairs for the studio, Collider has exclusively learned.

Wes Craven directed the 1991 horror satire, which starred Brandon Adams, Everett McGill, Wendy Robie, A.J. Langer and Ving Rhames. The movie celebrates its 29th anniversary this coming Sunday on Nov. 1.

The original film followed a young boy and two adult thieves who become trapped in a house belonging to a strange couple known as the Robesons after breaking in to steal their rare coin collection. They find a lot more than they bargained for waiting for them in the basement.

The People Under the Stairs was hailed as a disturbing and deranged horror satire that offered biting social commentary, and while numerous reviews compared the Robesons to nightmare versions of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, one LA Weekly critic compared them to noted racists Donald Sterling and Donald Trump. The latter Donald proved to be a particularly apt comparison, seeing as the Robesons also keep kids in cages

Peele will produce the remake alongside Win Rosenfeld via their Monkeypaw Productions banner, and though Peele is not expected to direct the film himself, it remains unclear whether he and/or Rosenfeld will have a hand in writing the script, as they did in co-writing Candyman alongside director Nia DaCosta.

The People Under the Stairs is the first Craven movie to get the remake treatment since the director’s death in 2015 — two months after the Scream TV series debuted on MTV. In fact, Craven was developing a People Under the Stairs TV series for the SyFy Channel prior to his death. That show never moved forward, but it was described as “a contemporary Downton Abbey meets Amityville Horror” that would’ve followed “a young woman [who] goes missing at the grand Robeson Family Manor” and the “centuries-old horrors that lie deep within the estate.” Expect Peele’s company to steer things in a different direction and emphasize the film’s social commentary

Peele has yet to announce his third feature as a director, and the only acting gigs he has announced are voice roles in Henry Selick‘s animated horror-comedy Wendell and Wild, Evan Marlowe‘s animated horror movie Abruptio and the fourth season of Netflix’s animated comedy Big Mouth, in which Peele voices the Ghost of Duke Ellington.

Peele is one of the executive producers behind HBO’s buzzy new series Lovecraft Country along with Misha Green and J.J. Abrams, and he’s also an executive producer on the Amazon series Hunters, which is, shall we say, more my cup of tea. Additionally, Peele continues to serve as the narrator and executive producer of The Twilight Zone on CBS All Access. He’s represented by CAA, Artists First and attorney Jared Levine
