Original director Katt Shea will be remaking her own film, the 1989 Dance of the Damned, because “the concept behind ‘Dance of the Damned’ has the potential to resonate with a new generation of moviegoers,” says the release. “ ‘Dance of the Damned’ is about the human condition. It’s a universal concept that’s timeless and has the ability to engage viewers in a unique way through a film that combines elements of horror and drama.”
Roger Corman executive produces the remake that’s currently in pre-production (without a cast I might add).
“In the original Dance of the Damned, a vampire follows his instincts to a strip joint where he focuses in on one of the performers. He picks her for his meal because she is contemplating suicide, but he wants to share her life before taking it, and during the course of the evening they discuss their differences, their fears, and their lifestyles. As the moment of truth approaches, the woman becomes less sure that she wants to die.”
