Romero to remake Deep Red. IN 3-D!

[Alien Redrum]

Get ready for "Deep Red" in 3D -- not by Dario Argento but from George A. Romero.

Romero is in advanced negotiations to helm a stereoscopic remake in English of Argento's cult classic, according to sources.

The 1975 "Deep Red," about a string of supernatural splatter murders, is considered Argento's gem giallo and the film that established his international standing.

The Romero-helmed 3D "Deep Red" redo is being set up as an Italo-Canadian co-production by Italian producer Claudio Argento via his Opera Film shingle. Robbie Little's The Little Company is preselling the pic in Cannes.

Claudio Argento, who is Dario's brother and regular producer, has penned the screenplay for Romero's redo.

Plan is to start shooting this fall in Canada.

Though Dario Argento and George Romero go back a long way -- he collaborated with Romero on zombie classic "Dawn of the Dead," on which he has producer credit, and they also co-directed "Two Evil Eyes" in 1990 -- Dario Argento will not be involved in Romero's remake in any guise.

Between this and the Argento news, 2012 is definitely upon us.

This has got to be some desperate cry for attention.

The good thing is Romero is getting away from zombies movies so that's a good thing.

Romero hasn't received a nickel for a non-zombie movie since Bruiser.
I wouldn't hold my breath for this OR Argento's 3D Dracula happening any time soon.


Battle Royale is another one being pitched as a 3D release... like that movie is ever going to get a legit US release.

They should collaborate again.

Agreed... it HAS been 20 yrs since TWO EVIL EYES
Maybe they could throw Stephen King back into the mix!

[Alien Redrum]

I'd see that!

They both should just retire. They are nothing more than geriatric hacks.
