[EFM ’12] Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rebecca’ Returns To Berlin!
Just in time for EFM, this is one announcement that’s worthy of such press.
DreamWorks and Working Title Films are embarking on a feature remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic mystery Rebecca, that will be written by Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight, who will go back to the original book by Daphne DuMaurier.
“The story follows a naive young woman who marries a rich widower and settles in his gigantic mansion, only to find that the memory of the first wife maintains a grip on her husband and the servants.”
The original, Hitchcock’s first ever English-language film, was the opening film at the 1st Berlin International Film Festival in 1951!
Fresh new label Dreamscape Productions has announced the upcoming creature feature comedy Round the Decay, with Deadline bringing us the first casting news this afternoon.
Melody Kay (The NeverEnding Story III) will star alongside Victoria Mirrer (Everwinter Night), Phil Duran (“Breaking Bad”), Damian Maffei (Haunt, The Strangers: Prey at Night), Sarah Nicklin (The Black Mass, Garden of Eden), and Rodger Clarke (Red Dead Redemption II).
Round the Decay follows “Kenzie (Victoria Mirrer) as she gets entangled in a sinister plot in the sleepy town of Newport Valley to get closure on her broken engagement.”
Here’s the full official plot synopsis…
“When prominent locals take in a lost hiker, Kenzie, newcomer Roz and mysterious outsider Munroe find themselves caught between the leaders of the town’s factions and entangled in an ancient sinister plot dating back to its founder that threatens the survival of the town and their lives.”
Adam Newman wrote the script and is also directing the horror film.
Round the Decay is produced by Newman, Hansson, Jay Voishnis, Jon Balanoff, and Adam McDonald; and executive produced by Sean Ward, CEO of Dreamscape.
