‘Oculus’ Gets a Bollywood Remake With ‘Dobaara’!
Long before The Asylum started making “Mockbusters,” Bollywood was churning out unofficial remakes left and right. Who could forget ’93’s Mahakaal, for example: the Bollywood version of A Nightmare on Elm Street that featured a mullet-headed Freddy Krueger! Did you know that Child’s Play even got its own Bollywood adaptation in ’96? It’s true! It was titled Papi Gudia!
What’s next on the Bollywood remake chopping block? Mike Flanagan’s Oculus!
Flanagan himself took to Twitter last night to share the poster for Dobaara: See Your Evil, Bollywood’s version of the 2014 horror flick. Flanagan noted, “This makes me so weirdly happy.”
In Dobaara…
Natasha Merchant and Kabeer Merchant come across a strange mirror while dealing with the death of their parents.
Prawaal Raman and Leena Tandon directed.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
