1970s Horror Movie ‘The Reincarnation of Peter Proud’ Being Remade by David Goyer and Village Roadshow
Suppose you knew who you had been in a previous life…
A new take on 1975’s psychological horror movie The Reincarnation of Peter Proud is on the menu, oddly enough, with David Goyer‘s Phantom Four Films behind the project.
Deadline reports that Phantom Four has joined forces with Village Roadshow for a multi-year, first-look deal to develop feature films, including The Reincarnation of Peter Proud.
Sean Durkin will write and direct the new take.
In the original movie…
“When college professor Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) begins experiencing flashbacks of an earlier life, he’s mysteriously drawn to a place he’s never been to, but which seems familiar and where he soon finds his previous incarnation’s wife.”
Director J. Lee Thompson’s movie was based on the 1973 novel by Max Ehrlich.

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
