Guillermo del Toro will produce a remake of the 1973 cult horror-thriller TV movie "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" says The Hollywood Reporter.The original "Dark" told the tale of a young girl (Kim Darby), who is sent to live with her father (Jim Hutton) and his new girlfriend (Barbara Anderson) The trio soon discover that sinister creatures live underneath the stairs.
Comics creator Troy Nixey will make his feature film directorial debut on the project
Del Toro and Matthew Robbins will adapt a script from Nigel McKeand original teleplay.
For a 70's TV movie the original was pretty darn effective at giving viewers a case of the willies.
Del Toro and Robbins have worked before on Mimic as a team--so good things should come from this update.
