Overview
- StudioCanal, which owns the property, disclosed at CinemaCon on Monday that it will develop a new take in partnership with producers The Picture Company.
- No director, writer, cast, or production timeline has been named, and there is no public confirmation of involvement from John Carpenter or Kurt Russell.
- Executive Hugh Spearing announced the project during the Las Vegas showcase, saying additional updates will follow.
- The company also highlighted a reboot of The Howling and a fourth Paddington film, pointing to a slate built around recognizable titles.
- The reboot follows years of stalled versions involving teams like Radio Silence, Robert Rodriguez, and Leigh Whannell, reflecting how rights control and past litigation have kept StudioCanal at the center of the franchise’s future.
