One of Director John Carpenter's earliest efforts - the 1980 horror-thriller "The Fog" is rolling in for a remake according to Reuters. Sony-based Revolution Studios is making and distributing the project on which Carpenter and Debra Hill will serve as the producers.
The original film is set in a Northern California town where 100 years ago a ship sank off the coast under mysterious circumstances during a thick, eerie fog. Ghosts of the long-dead mariners return from their watery graves to exact their revenge on the townsfolk.
Carpenter says "I have done it once, and I don't want to do it again. I did my 'Fog,' and now it's someone else's time. It's very flattering. It's terrific that they want to make it. We have been thinking of doing 'The Fog' over for some time, as maybe a sequel. But now is the season of the remake."
The big question now is who'll play the sultry voiced radio jock played by Adrienne Barbeau in the original? Will Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the original, take over the role that her mother Janet Leigh played in the first?
Thanks to 'Whispers'
