Ten years after originally being announced, plans to remake Don’t Look Now continue forth.
StudioCanal is revisiting the movie with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman of The Picture Company on board to produce a new iteration, says THR.
Directed by Nicolas Roeg, the 1973 atmospheric supernatural thriller starred Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as a couple grieving the death of their daughter. While in Venice, they meet two Catholic nuns, one of whom claims to be clairvoyant and is in contact with their daughter in the afterlife. The woman brings an ominous message from the afterlife, warning that their lives are in danger.
The movie was known for its stylish editing style and generated notoriety for its graphic sex scene, explains the site, with debate persisting to this day whether or not Sutherland and Christie engaged in actual intercourse.
But even after ten years in development, don’t expect this to move any quicker. The site says that there is no writer attached as the producers and company are looking to follow a similar game plan they worked with their remake of Escape from New York: finding the project a studio home then attaching writing talent.
Because that worked so well before…
