1970s Horror Movie ‘The Reincarnation of Peter Proud’ Being Remade by David Goyer and Village Roadshow
Suppose you knew who you had been in a previous life…
A new take on 1975’s psychological horror movie The Reincarnation of Peter Proud is on the menu, oddly enough, with David Goyer‘s Phantom Four Films behind the project.
Deadline reports that Phantom Four has joined forces with Village Roadshow for a multi-year, first-look deal to develop feature films, including The Reincarnation of Peter Proud.
Sean Durkin will write and direct the new take.
In the original movie…
“When college professor Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) begins experiencing flashbacks of an earlier life, he’s mysteriously drawn to a place he’s never been to, but which seems familiar and where he soon finds his previous incarnation’s wife.”
Director J. Lee Thompson’s movie was based on the 1973 novel by Max Ehrlich.
You can watch the original trailer below.
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
