Variety exclusively reports that Legendary Entertainment has inked a deal with The Dig writers Ryan and Andy Tohill to direct a reboot the film’s original 1974 version (seen above). Writers will include Chris Thomas Devlin alongside Bad Hombre partners Fede Alvarez and Rodolfo Sayagues through their deal with Legendary. Each them will team up using the Tohill’s vision that’s apparently “so depraved that it will stay with you forever,” as Alvarez described in an ficial statement. It’s worth noting that TCM is one the most revisited horror films, boasting multiple decades worth reboots, sequels, prequels and even a 3D film released back in 2013. Let’s hope the latest gets it right.
