Universal Remaking 1996’s ‘Fear’ from Female Perspective
No word yet on if it will feature a severed dog head.
As ’90s nostalgia becomes a thing, we suppose it should come as no surprise that Universal is re-imagining Fear, the 1996 thriller that starred Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. In the James Foley-directed film, Wahlberg played David, an initially charming young man whose extreme dark side soon rears its ugly head.
Deadline reports that Universal Pictures is developing a new take on the film, with Straight Outta Compton co-writer Jonathan Herman handling the script.
The site notes that though plot details are being kept under wraps, they’re hearing that the story will this time around be told from a female perspective.
“The original film centered on Witherspoon meeting Wahlberg’s character in what seemed to be a perfect love match — until his darker side emerged and it all went off the rails.”
Brian Grazer returns to produce for Imagine Entertainment.

Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”
