Rogue Pictures, the genre arm of Universal, has signed a deal to remake Wes Craven's debut film THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. The graphic and intense original, which followed the brutal rape and torture of two girls in the words, was released in 1972 and banned repeatedly in the UK as well as getting an X-rating from the MPAA. Craven will produce the remake with Sean Cunningham who also produced the original. The remake will follow the same storyline - girls get kidnapped, raped, tortured and their killers unwittingly run into their parents who look to exact revenge. It's unclear if it will still be set in the 70s or will move to modern day. Craven, who made the original for $90,000, says the most of his other directing projects like SHOCKER and PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS are also in talks to be remade. I was watching SHOCKER last night by coincidence and I'm not sure it's worthy of a remake. But PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS? I could definitely see that. Rogue Pictures is looking to start production on the film in early 2007.
