Sony And Screen Gems Hatch Plans For See No Evil Remake

 

Sony and Screen Gems have hatched plans for a modern remake of cult horror flick See No Evil. Bearing no affiliation with Gregory Dark’s 2006 slasher film of the same name, See No Evil dates back much further to 1971 when director Richard Fleischer spun out a blood-curdling horror tale of one blind woman stalked by a relentless psychopath.

Also starring Dorothy Alison, Robin Bailey, Diane Grayson, the original film earned an Edgar Award for its nail-biting screenplay, which was written at the time by the late, great English scribe Brian Clemens. Though it may not have stormed to box office stardom, See No Evil still reaped the benefit of positive reviews more than 45 years ago.

Dusting off the keyboard for the studio’s Screen Gems arm is Mike Scannell, who has been tasked with crafting a script. No word yet on a director to take the reins, but See No Evil has attracted a pair of genre-wise producers in Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) and his Unbroken Pictures partner, Adrienne Biddle.
