The makers of "Seven" are teaming to reincarnate "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" for Columbia.

David Fincher is attached to direct the new adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel, which will be penned by Andrew Kevin Walker. Fincher will produce with Michael De Luca.

Fincher and Walker respectively directed and wrote the 1995 thriller "Seven" for New Line when De Luca was its president of production. Alison Rosenzweig, who brought the project to De Luca, also will produce the redo.

Ehrlich wrote the adaptation of his own book. The novel and film were released in 1975, the latter directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Michael Sarrazin and Margot Kidder.

"Proud" centers on a college professor who begins having recurring dreams and nightmares and, realizing they are images of a past life, decides to search out the source of the visions. With his girlfriend in tow, he discovers a woman and her grown-up daughter who are keys to his past life.

The supernatural thriller drew heat for a subplot involving incest.

The creative team is going back to the novel as the source material and will contemporize the story.

Columbia president Matt Tolmach is overseeing.

Fincher is about to begin shooting "The Social Network," which De Luca is producing for Columbia. Walker, repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, wrote Universal's upcoming horror remake "The Wolfman" with David Self.
