Re-Animator Remake on the Way

Just when the series seemed to be dead with the demise of Stuart Gordon's previously planned "House of Re-Animator," it appears Herbert West is about to be...re-animated. The pulpish cult classic which has spawned three movies thus far from H.P. Lovecraft's tale "Herbert West: Reanimator" is said to have a remake on the way. An article on Shocktillyoudrop.com reports the remake will be produced under Ray Haboush and Brian Yuzna, the latter of whom previously worked on the second and third Re-Animator films.

Early indications say the remake of "Re-animator" will closely follow the original's storyline. However, a 3-D film is being discussed. Online sources mentioning this project are unclear about whether 3-D means a fully animated CGI picture, or one that has 3-D effects like what was done with "Night of the Living Dead" several years ago. Given the tentative nature of this project, it's even more uncertain whether this remake will ever truly come to light. Stranger things have certainly happened, though, and Re-Animator rising from the dead would grant greater longevity to an enterprise that would have shocked Lovecraft himself, who considered his own "Herbert West" story hack work.
