Soaked In Red

Horror master George A. Romero is in advanced negotiations to direct a remake of one of Dario Argento’s most acclaimed flicks -Deep Red says Variety

The redo will be in English. And of course 3-D.

Argento's 1975 Italian cult classic follows an English pianist (David Hemmings) living in Rome who witnesses the brutal murder of his neighbor, a psychic.

With the help of a tenacious young reporter (Daria Nicolodi) he tries to discover the killer, an obsession endangering his life and that of everyone with whom he comes into contact as the killer starts taking their lives.

Elements like a children's tune, a corpse entombed in the walls of a derelict house, and Argento's trademark gruesome violence all play a part in the film

Argento’s brother and sometime collaborator, Claudio is on board the remake Dario is not

Filming kicks off this Fall in Canada for release sometime next year.

Can't Wait!!

Dario and Romero worked on Two Evil Eyes and 1978's Dawn of the Dead
