The Mia Farrow-headlined horror See No Evil is getting a modern day remake...

Things had been surprisingly quiet on the remake front these past few weeks. It was almost as if Hollywood had decided against pursuing quite so many of them.

Nope, just kidding. It was just a short break, as we now have news of another one.

Over at Screen Gems, it's putting together a remake of the 1971 horror flick See No Evil. The original starred Mia Farrow as a blind woman returning to her uncle's home, only to discover her family have been murdered.

Mike Scannell is penning the screenplay for the new See No Evil, although no director has yet been announced for the project.

What an incredible career Brian Clemens had, and what an amazing amount of enjoyment that he brought to so many of us movie (and TV) geeks over the years. Clemens was a British screenwriter and producer with an enormous cult following. He was best known for The Avengers, the show starring Patrick MacNee and Honor Blackman (and later Diana Rigg) for which he wrote the pilot episode and was the chief scriptwriter from 1961 to 1969. Hammer Horror fans admired him for his clever scripts for Dr. Jekyll And Sister Hyde (1971) and Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter (1974), which was also his sole directorial credit and one of the best and most unusual films from Hammer Studio.

Another film legend has passed on, and though his name may not jump out at you, his contributions to the world of special effects will long be remembered and revered. It's with a heavy heart we report that Stuart Freeborn is no longer with us.

The Associated Press is reporting that Freeborn, a pioneering movie makeup artist behind creatures such as Yoda and Chewbacca in the Star Wars films, has died. He was 98. Within the horror genre Stuart served as chief makeup artist on 1976's The Omen, and he also contributed his genius to 2001: A Space Odyssey, See No Evil, the TV horror film Spectre, the Superman film franchise, and even the hilarious Haunted Honeymoon from 1986.

Rear Window (1954). Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Screenplay by John Michael Hayes, from the story by Cornell Woolrich. Starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Raymond Burr, Thelma Ritter. 112 minutes. *** 1/2

Rear Window (1998). Directed by Jeff Bleckner. Screenplay by Larry Gross and Eric Overmyer, from the story by Cornell Woolrich. Starring Christopher Reeve, Darryl Hannah, Robert Forster. 89 minutes. **

Other Related Films: Too many ripoffs and homages to count, among them Disturbia (2007), which is so similar to Woolrich’s story that the owners of the film had to go to court to get a ruling that they hadn’t violated Rear Window’s copyright.

This one’s an oddity, folks: a remake that was actually based on a breathtakingly brilliant idea for a variation on a movie that was a classic to begin with, that nevertheless utterly failed to live up to its promise.

This latest, unwanted addition to the 'stalker thriller' genre might already have the 2012 Razzies sewn up

The competition for worst movie of the year is at its fiercest, oddly, in the first months of the year – that post-Christmas graveyard of shelved and botched movies, a dumping ground for backfired investments and projects. Disgraced, orphaned and despised, spring releases run headlong for the shadows in shame, like cockroaches, oblivion their only destination, a Golden Razzie their only acclamation.

So step up, The Roommate – a wan, college-based nightmare about getting dormitoried up with a complete stranger who turns out to be a jealous, possibly bi-curious, certainly bi-furious psychopath – now a sterling contender for that worst picture Razzie in 2012. In addition to being an airless and sinewless exercise in how not to manufacture suspense, delineate relationships or surprise an audience even once, Roommates shows the bottoming out of a trend that goes back...
