Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is on a bit of a horror bend following his “Suspiria” remake and this year’s cannibal romance thriller “Bones and All”.
Out promoting the latter film ahead of its November 23rd theatrical release, Collider asked him if, having done “Suspiria,” is there another horror classic he’d like to tackle as a remake.
The celebrated filmmaker reportedly got quite excited about the question and settled on Universal’s original 1932 monster movie classic “The Mummy”. Why that property? Guadagnino explains:
“It’s a rotten body in rotten bandages, so what’s inside is [as] interesting as what’s outside. It should be very scary and very, very terminal. It should be a little movie but with a lot of depth and very scary.
There is a Joe Dante Mummy that never happened that I feel so bad about because Joe is such a master, and I am sure he would have made something incredible.”
Guadagnino is next set to tackle the tennis movie “Challengers” starring Zendaya.
