Back in May 2011 plans were announced for The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes a found footage style reboot of film series from producer Jason Blum ("Paranormal Activity," "Insidious"). That version is dead
Bella Thorne and Jennifer Jason Leigh will star in the project in which Leigh plays Joan, a single mother who moves her three kids into the Amityville house - only to later learn about its very dark history.
The tale was based on a true story--later an admitted hoax--about a family moving into their apparent Long Island dream house, only to discover a murder took place in the house several years back and now the place is now haunted.
First put on film in 1979--starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder-- directed by Stuart Rosenberg that classic film spawned several horrid sequels
Then the story was remade in 2005-- sure the film grossed over $100 million at the box office worldwide but it was almost universally panned and is now more famous for showing off a very buffed up Ryan Reynolds than scaring anyone.
This new film already has a January 2nd, 2015 release date.
