    Tony Scott’s Iconic “The Hunger” Getting a Remake

    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:1 Min Read

    This is one of those films we cannot support a remake of, in anyway shape or form. That said, this morning Warner Bros. Pictures announced plans to remake the iconic fangless vampire film from the late great Tony Scott which starred David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve, “The Hunger.”

    With an opening scene to rival pretty much any other vampire film (fight. me.) featuring gothic mainstay band Bauhaus performing “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” it remains one of the most slick and stylish vampire films of any era.

    The report from this morning indicates that Angela Robinson (“True Blood,” “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women“) will direct from a screenplay by Jessica Sharzer (“American Horror Story“).

    That’s all we know so far, but you can bet we’ll let you know about any updates that cross our desks.

    Forever?

    Forever and ever.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
