10 Movie Reboots You Didn’t Know Are Coming In 2018
6. Re-Animator: Evolution
Reinforcing the point about the horror category hosting more reboots than most, another genre classic is expected to be given a fresh start in 2018 when Re-Animator: Evolution rises from the grave.
Written by Johnathon Schaech and directed by TV and B-movie filmmaker Serge Levin, the film is touted as a modern take on H.P. Lovecraft's original story Herbert West Re-Animator, which makes it an ambitious attempt to update the series and take it back to its roots.
Schaech will also star in the project in the lead role of West and he has big shoes to fill there, living up to the legacy of franchise legend Jeffrey Combs. Insidious‘ Lin Shaye and Child’s Play‘s Brad Douri are set to co-star.
Re-Animator: Evolution doesn't have a more specific release date than '2018' and is expected to debut on video on demand platforms, rather than cinema.
