"Don't Look Now," the 1973 film that created a sensation thanks to a highly erotic love scene featuring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, is getting the remake treatment says Reuters.

Paramount Pictures' update centers on a couple, John and Laura Baxter, who go to Venice, Italy, to recuperate after the sudden death of their daughter only to encounter strange visions that suggest their daughter's presence. Andrea Berloff will write the screenplay for the adaptation.

The original film, directed by Nicolas Roeg and based on a story by Daphne Du Maurier, "was very much of its time with a lot of atmospherics that wouldn't necessarily work today," said the update's producer, Mark Gordon. "But it has a great idea and a wonderful backdrop and setting. We hope to take the feeling of the story, continue to set it in Venice and make it contemporary."
