Hey folks, Harry here... Now ordinarily I'm not too big on remakes of Hammer films... I love the originals, and quite honestly with their scores and the texture of the film look... and the fact that people doing the remakes would never use Christopher Lee... and it is impossible to bring in Peter Cushing... I'm kinda like... Ummm... Why are you doing this? Well, that's not the case here. First off, JOE DANTE is apparently the director rooting to helm the remake.... second, there is the involvement of Christopher Lee... who would apparently be playing the role he originated in the first film... and it is DEVIL RIDES OUT, which is just hands down one of my favorite Hammer flicks. The mythology and world of DEVIL RIDES OUT is incredibly rich... the evil fighting rulebook alone is precious. Personally I'd love it to death if Bruce Campbell were to play Lee's student in this film, but hey... don't we want him in everything? Here's the scoop...
Hi Harry,
Just thought you and the hammer horror fans on AICN might be interested in the fact that empireonline.co.uk has got a story about a forthcoming 'Devil Rides Out' remake. Under the headline 'Lee to enter Dantes Inferno' it has the man himself confirming that he will be repriseing his role as the Duc de Richleau for director Joe Dante. There is also a story about Lee's abhorence at the prospect of The Wicker Man being remade by an all american company. Hope you find it interesting.
Just call me Poison Ivy. x.
