Hitcher remake gets a deal

Hitcher.jpgWe reported about this way back in February, well okay not that way back, but it now seems that there is a deal together for the re-making of The Hitcher. Details from MovieWeb:

According to Variety, looking to scare up another horror remake hit, Platinum Dunes has made a deal with Focus Features to redo 1986 pic The Hitcher. The film will be released through Focus’ genre label, Rogue Pictures.

The deal marks the third remake for Platinum Dunes since it was formed by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller to hatch low-cost genre fare.

I thought that the remaking of the classic Chainsaw Massacre was bad enough, but Hitcher is awesome as it is. I watched it recently and I still think it’s an incredible movie, I can’t see them doing anything with it but destroy it, and who could possibly dream of taking over Rutger Hauer‘s role and trying to replicate that stunning performance?
