What a crock of shit.

The trailer used to scare the shit outta me as a kid.

Sounds very interesting.

The original creeped me out as a kid. Looking forward to this.

the original is a good one, not sure what are we going to gain with a remake? nobody is going to better hopkins performance or goldsmith music. Raimi is an interesting director when hes on form so I guess that'd be a point of interest

Hey, at least Raimi isn't taking another nine-year sabbatical, so there's that.

Sam Raimi and Roy Lee are teaming up with Lionsgate for some horror magic.

Lionsgate is developing a remake of Magic, a 1978 cult horror classic that featured Anthony Hopkins as a mentally unstable ventriloquist. The reimagining will be produced by Sam Raimi, the creator of the Evil Dead franchise, and Roy Lee, the prolific scary movie maker behind summer hit Weapons.

Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, veteran scribes who previously penned Freddy vs. Jason and the remake of Friday the 13th, will write the script.

Chris Hammond and Tim Sullivan, who have long championed the project and guided its development, will produce alongside Raimi and Lee. Raimi Productions’ Zainab Azizi will also produce.

That's the best kind of movie to remake. Could be an improvement!
