Any News On The Remake?


It's been a few years since I've heard anything about MGM's remake/reboot. Anybody have any info?

I haven't heard much about it lately. In an interview with Gary Gerani (co writer of the original film) had this to say concerning a remake....

About a year ago, original Pumpkinhead producer Billy Blake and I proposed a reboot to Motion Picture Corp. It was a very classy horror film, with Josh Brolin cast as Ed Harley. The scenario also brought Ed’s wife into things, before she dies. Sad to say, we got nowhere. I have no idea what Brad Krevoy is planning now, but it certainly isn’t with us.
The interview is from 2014 on a site called "Halloween Love". Here's a link to the interview if you wish to give it a read....

Personally, I'm just not sure if I believe we'll ever see a remake, but it sure would be nice to have another Pumpkinhead film that's as good as the original.

Thanks pal. Maybe one day we will see this happen.

No problem. I guess all us Pumpkinhead fans can do is try and remain hopeful (:

It just might happen.
I don't mind for this film to get remade, because no matter what, we will always have the original up our sleeves to pull out and view any time...


BTW... how are you doing buddy? Lately I been getting a full dose of low budget (some bad, some bad/good and tons just plain bad) horror movies

Hey dude, whats up?
Yeah, a friend hit me up with the remake info a couple days ago. It would be cool to get a new film, but these rumors seem to come and go with no results. Still, I try and remain hopeful.

That is exactly how I feel about it 

I've been pretty good, dude. How about you? What movies have you been getting into?
