Jamie Chung ("Samurai Girl") and Audrina Patridge ("The Hills") will be the latest newcomers set to die horribly in the upcoming remake of the cult classic The House on Sorority Row. Meanwhile, Carrie Fisher is in negotiations to watch it all go down as the "House Mother", says The Hollywood Reporter. The three actresses will be joining Rumer Willis, Julian Morris, Leah Pipes, Margo Harshman and Briana Evigan. Stewart Hendler is directing the Summit Entertainment production while Mike Karz and Darin Holender are on board to produce. Shooting set to start in early October in Pittsburgh.
Plot Concept: The story centers on a group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked and killed by a serial killer.
The original "Row" hit theaters during the famed slasher era on January 21, 1983. It was directed by Mark Rosman and starred Kate McNeil, Eileen Davidson, Janis Ward, Robin Meloy, Harley Jane Kozak and Christopher Lawrence. Film Ventures handled the distribution which wound up making $10.6 million domestically.
Ack! This is one of my all-time favorites. I think it was the first DVD that I bought too. Its such a shame that they have to schmutz it with the endless lack of imagination in Hollywood.
I remember seeing this in 1983 in a double feature with the ultimate fantasy film (Sorceress) and I was impressed. My friend Eddie couldn't get the melody of the jewelry box out of his head and would repeat it all the time. "Ding -DING DING, Ding -DING DING..."
I hope they don't screw it up royally. I can imagine maybe somebody involved with the recent GRINDHOUSE films doing a decent rendition but I don' know...its a subtle film, man.
Although, I have to admit that I enjoyed the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake. As Romero has crushed my following of late...
I wonder if they're going to **** up the "Friday the 13th" original by doing a remake. The "TEXAS" remake certainly reeked so much that I rocketed out of the theater! ;)
