After announcing their departure from the Near Dark remake last week, production company Platinum Dunes has announced they’re moving on from another one of their classic horror remakes, this time in the version of Rosemary’s Baby.
The film’s producers, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, feel their adaptation just isn’t working the way they wanted it to.
They told Collider in a recent interview, “We went down that road and we even talked to the best writers in town and it feels like it might not be do-able. We couldn’t’ come up with something where it felt like it was relevant and we could add something to it other than what it was so we’re now not going to be doing that film.”
Moving on from all things Rosemary, the duo also talked about their upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, saying that they believe it’d be “a travesty” if Robert Englund didn’t get into their version, though not necessarily performing as Freddy.
They continued talking of projects, saying that they’re still not sure on their remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Birds.
Fuller explained, “That’s not a movie that we’re just going to step up and just go have birds attacking people and trying to throw that into the box office. If we can’t make that movie unique or add something to it, I don’t think we’re going to make it.”
