Legendary Entertainment has picked up the rights to the 1978 cult feature “Faces of Death” with plans for a reboot that will potentially launch a franchise.
The original adopted a faux-documentary structure and followed a pathologist exploring death via footage purportedly culled from around the world.
The new take revolves around a video website moderator, recovering from serious trauma, who stumbles across a group recreating deaths from the original film. She sets out to determine whether the videos are authentic.
Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber (“Cam”) will write and direct the new version while Susan Montford and Don Murphy will produce.
