why has no one attempted 'in the miso soup' by ryu murakami? the premise is a male japanese business escort whose job is to entertain male clients by taking them to whorehouses and the best clubs during their stay while they pursue business with his employer, and then finds out that his current client might be a serial killer. that sounds like a great fucking movie that could be played with and adapted all sorts of ways.

I think the problem with a lot of these remakes is that we have producers buying rights and putting together movies that belong to directors.

A Second "The Omen" Reboot In The Works
via Dark Horizons

20th Century Fox and Platinum Dunes are teaming again for a second reboot of 1976 horror classic "The Omen" which is in very early stages of development.

No filmmakers have been attached at this time. Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles starred in the John Moore-directed 2006 remake.

The news comes a month after it was revealed that Lifetime is developing a TV series adaptation of the original movie, with former "Walking Dead" showrunner Glen Mazzara writing the pilot script and executive producing.

That series essentially ignores the "Omen" sequels, opting to explore a now adult Damien Thorn who is haunted by his turbulent past and coming to grips with the fact that he is actually the Antichrist.
