The Grudge Reboot

Tools    






"Nicolas Pesce has been set to rewrite and direct The Grudge reboot for Ghost House Pictures.

Pesce, who made his directorial debut on the critically acclaimed 2016 Sundance pic The Eyes of My Mother, will resuscitate the Takashi Shimazu-directed 2004 film that helped establish the viability of low-cost genre films.

The new film is based on a script by Midnight Meat Train scribe Jeff Buhler, and it will be produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Taka Ichise. Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane will executive produce. Erin Westerman and Romel Adam will oversee for Ghost House."



for christ sake, leave the classic original alone, that dreaded atmosphere in the first was just sublime, kept me awake that night



I'm interested now I know Andrea Riseborough is going to be the lead in it. She is always good. I was never fussed about the original Japanese films anyway and this new one can't be any worse than the first remake with Buffy in the lead...
