Robert Hall, who directed the effects heavy Laid To Rest as well as Fear Clinic and MTV’s “Teen Wolf”, has joined forces with Texas Frightmare Weekend founder and producer Loyd Cryer to remake the 1985 cult favorite Nail Gun Massacre, Bloody Disgusting learned today.
The original film begins after a young girl is gang-raped by a crew of construction workers, someone starts killing off members of the group with a nail gun.
Hall will direct and produce with Cryer, while the script comes courtesy of screenwriter Darren Bevill (Appetites).
“It’s going to be a FUN MOVIE for sure,” Hall commented on whether they would retain the comedic camp tone of the original, “However, the new screenplay is really smart and we are pulling back on the camp for sure. It’s an update for today’s demanding audience bringing you WTF superb nail gun kills of course”.
Cryer had a relationship with original director (the late) Terry Lofton and rereleased the original film in 2014 with Code Red Entertainment.
Nail Gun Massacre starts principle photography in Texas Late Summer of 2017.
