B-D reader 'Avery' just sent us a pretty damn interesting link. What he discovered was that Shoreline Entertainment is working on a new From Beyond film, which is currently in pre-production. While no director or cast are revealed, the synopsis, a teaser poster and a piece of production art were available for the latest H.P. Lovecraft adaptation. Read on to check it all out and begin speculating what this is.

Detective Davis Tillinghast is a modern day Sherlock Holmes, using his keen intellect and powers of deduction to solve the cases no one else can ... until now. A series of bizarre and seemingly impossible mutilations have him stumped, the only tenuous clue leading back to the laboratory of his estanged brother Crawford, a crazed genius obsessed with inter-dimensional physics. Crawford has invented an instrument that hyper-stimulates the pineal gland of the brain, making visible the many thousands of parallel universes that occupy our space/time continuum. But unbeknownst to him this machine is also empowering creatures from other realities, giving them the ability to "drift" - travel between dimensions. Davis discovers that a "drifter" has been causing the random mutilations and sets out to destroy his brother's machine. In the process, Davis is exposed to a vast amount of the machine's energy, turning him too into a drifter.

TheDeadMayTasteBad 1:54am, September 9, 2008 I love the original and I'm not too keen on remakes. However, if that artwork is any indication, this could be awesome.

Zombie Dude 2:09am, September 9, 2008 This is old news. I heard about this something like a year ago. Sad nothing new has been mentioned.

deadlover 10:01am, September 9, 2008 I haven't seen the original. How closely does the plot synopsis above seem to stick to it? Or to the Lovecraft story?

HorrorMaven 10:24am, September 9, 2008 I heard about this about a year ago as well. The detective angle could be wonky or could be cool, depending upon how they do it. I absolutely love the original, so this smacks of a bit of blasphemy to me, personally.

foghorne 1:00pm, September 9, 2008 the old one didnt age well. I watched it the other day and it sucked.

takingbacksados 2:07pm, September 9, 2008 Sounds like a completely new adaptation and not a remake, not a bad idea. I like the detective angle. If done right, this could be sick.

magnaderalpha 2:23pm, September 9, 2008 Both adaptions are pretty much different than Lovecraft's original story. It could work, but I hate how they've, like in any modern horror, have come up with a cool catching word to describe the monsters. "Drifters", soooo cool! Urgh. I don't think I can stomach an entire movie where people are referring to these creatures as "Drifters".

NixEclips 3:04pm, September 9, 2008 Give Stuart Gordon the chance to re-make his with a better budget, dammit. And "Drifters" sounds like they're fans of Fast and Furious 3.

NVK 4:50pm, September 9, 2008 I wouldn't say remake. Just maybe a more true adaptation of the original story.
