Big Horror Team-Up Takes On 'The Colony'

Some pretty big news hit the web tonight, only there's nothing to be too excited about - yet. Although details are being kept under wraps, two horror tycoons have joined forces to bring us a new tale of horror. The film is entitled The Colony and will be produced by Room 101 and Vertigo Entertainment. Read on for the skinny.

Participant Media (The Visitor) has set up eco-horror tale THE COLONY, based on a pitch by Stacy Title and Jonathan Penner.

Steven Schneider of Room 101 (read his ongoing blog here only on B-D) and Vertigo Entertainment's Doug Davison and Roy Lee are producing. Gabriel Mason will exec produce the project.

Schneider is producing Details for Paramount, The Flock for Warner Bros. and Paranormal Activity for DreamWorks.

Vertigo most recently produced The Eye and Shutter, and its upcoming projects include Tale of Two Sisters (The Uninvited) with DreamWorks, The Strangers with Rogue/Universal and Quarantine with Screen Gems. Vertigo changed this industry with their remake of The Ring back in 2001.

I guess you can say this film is in some pretty good hands? What do you think?

When I heard "tycoons," I thought it would be...well, recognizable names.

The Eye, Shutter, Tale of Two Sisters, Quarantine, and The Ring are all remakes (the ones already available are shit compared to their originals) and BD said that The Strangers had "absolutely nothing original here and it's obvious they tried to take what works and recycle it." Vertigo does not inspire great confidence or originality.

As much as I liked the ring remake I wish it hadn't done as well as it did. Maybe then we wouldn't be subjected to all these shitty movies! Can you imagine an asain remake of Nightmare on elm street? How bout a french version of Texas chainsaw massacre? Oh yeah we did get that Frontier(s). Anyway.....nothing here that peaks my intrest.
