Amityville Horror Re-remake

[UFAlien]

You read that right. According to Bloody Disgusting, Dimension and Weinstein are in talks with a director to do ANOTHER remake of The Amityville Horror.

The original 1979 film, based on a book which in turn was based on allegedly true events, was a smash hit and spawned seven sequels. The previous remake was produced by Platinum Dunes and released by MGM in 2005 and starred Ryan Reynolds as George Lutz, the man who moved into a haunted house with his family and fled 28 days later. This remake was also a financial hit, despite huge departures from the original film, book, or any claims made by the real Lutz family.

The original story has never been proven true or false and is a source of much controversy to this day. It is, however, a ghost tale firmly imprinted on American society and carries great name recognition, which the distressed Weinsteins could use right about now.

Interestingly enough, this is their second recently announced re-remake, as they also have plans to release a remake of Children of the Corn despite the SyFy Channel's own remake that premiered this summer.
