Michael Bay and Co. to Remake Everything Scary Ever
Most of you were irritated to learn that Michael Bay is planning on remaking Wes Craven’s 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street and another '80s horror classic, Friday the 13th. Bay's production company also has plans to remake Near Dark and The Birds and has already produced mostly forgettable remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, and The Hitcher.
Now there is news that Bay's production company is trying to work out a deal to develop the Ira Levin novel Rosemary's Baby into a new film.

Do You Want to See a Friday the 13th Remake?
The next horror movie remake coming down the pipeline is Friday the 13th, which recently got a director: Marcus Nispel, who also helmed the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Apparently the new Friday the 13th won't be a cookie-cutter remake, but will get a bit of a makeover:
"While Jason made only a brief appearance in the final frames of the first movie in 1980 and didn't even don his famous mask until the third movie, the new movie will focus on Jason — who will wear the mask and kill — and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake."
