Revolution Studios Enters The Fog

Revolution Studios has acquired rights to remake 1980 John Carpenter horror film The Fog, reports Variety. The Core and The Emperor's Club writer Cooper Layne will pen the script. Debra Hill and Carpenter, who wrote the original, will produce the remake with David Foster.

The original movie was set in Northern California, where a thick fog enshrouds the coastline. The fog is reminiscent of one 100 years before that wrecked a ship and drowned the seamen aboard. Sure enough, those salty dogs are back, mighty angry and out to kill whomever they find.

The Fog is forecast for a February production start.
