Michaey Bay's horror production company, Platinum Dunes, which has been turning out horror remake after horror remake, has signed a three-year first-look deal with Universal's Rogue Pictures. For being the producer of the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remake, its sequel, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR remake, the HITCHER remake, a BIRDS remake, a FRIDAY THE 13TH remake and more remakes than you can shake a stick at, Bay and his company will receive an astounding 10% of first-dollar gross for their movies, according to Variety, one of the richest producer deals in town. And well worth it, right?... Dunes, who will release THE HITCHER for Rogue in April, has already set up their next project under the deal and guess what? It's a horror remake! Bay has signed alt-music video director Samuel Bayer (Nirvana, Hole, Garbage, et. al.) to direct a remake of NEAR DARK, the mid-80s vampire/western. Production is set to begin early next year.
