Universal Partners With Sentient Entertainment on a Remake of Nicole Kidman-Starring ‘The Others’
We had learned back in April that Sentient Entertainment was developing a remake of Alejandro Amenábar’s 2001 horror movie The Others, and today we’ve learned via Deadline that Universal Pictures is partnering with Sentient on the remake.
“Universal has optioned the rights to the film from Sentient,” Deadline notes.
The site also reports, “At this time it is unknown how much this film will take from the original storyline. Insider say execs are currently meeting with writers to adapt the script.”
Nicole Kidman starred in the original film as a woman who lives in her darkened old family house with her two photosensitive children, convinced that the home is haunted.
The Others scared up over $200 million worldwide back in 2001.
Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
