Orion Developing a Remake of 1977 Horror Film ‘Audrey Rose’
Here’s an interesting little tidbit that was only briefly touched upon in an unrelated article run by The Hollywood Reporter tonight. While reporting that Chloe Okuno is re-writing and directing the horror film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies for A24, THR also mentioned something we had previously been unaware of: Orion Pictures is developing a remake of 1977’s Audrey Rose.
Okuno, they say, is currently writing the remake for Orion.
Directed by Robert Wise, Audrey Rose starred Marsha Mason, Anthony Hopkins, and Susan Swift, and it was based on the same-titled novel penned by Frank De Felitta.
In the film:
“A stranger attempts to convince a happily married couple that their daughter is actually his daughter reincarnated.”
You can check out the original trailer for 1977’s adaptation of Audrey Rose below.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
