And the guy who destroyed New York in “Cloverfield” and moved some vampires next door to you in “Let Me In” is going to direct it.

Producer Talks They Live Remake
Haven’t heard anything on a remake of John Carpenter’s classic alien invasion movie “They Live” in a while, but i09 recently cornered producer Eric Newman and got us an update. Newman is also the producer on the upcoming “The Thing” remake/prequel, another John Carpenter film, and he’s tapped into all things Carpenter remake-related.
They Want to Remake They Live and The Thing
If Universal Studios and Strike Entertainment get their way, John Carpenter’s tale of alien invasion gone kooky, the Rowdy Roddy Piper starrer “They Live” will see the light of day once more — as a remake. Yup. A remake? Why even remake it in the first place? I have no idea, but apparently it just seems like the thing to do in creativity-bankrupt Hollywood nowadays. Unless, of course, the rights holder refuses to sell the remake rights, but of course there’s as much chance of that happening as of me going to Hollywood and becoming the next International sex symbol. And so — they’re remaking “They Live”. Shit.
