Selma Blair has signed on for the remake of John Carpenter's classic horror-thriller "The Fog" for Revolution Studios. Also joining the cast are DeRay Davis and Rade Serbedzija according to Reuters.
Rupert Wainwright is directing the film, and Cooper Layne is writing from the screenplay by Hill and Carpenter for the original 1980 film. "Fog" is set in a Northern California town near where a ship sank about 100 years earlier under mysterious circumstances in a thick, eerie fog. The ghosts of the deceased mariners return from their watery graves to seek revenge. Tom Welling and Maggie Grace also star.
Blair is stepping into the role originally portrayed by Adrienne Barbeau, a DJ and owner of a lighthouse. Davis plays Welling's best friend, and Serbedzija is a priest. Blair will shoot "Hellboy II" after she completes "Fog".
