"Texas Chainsaw 3D" director John Lussenhop reimagines "Rosemary's Baby" as a sci-fi remake.
Appearing on the "Bootleg Universe Pitch Show," Lussenhop described his remake as an "atmospheric" movie that is set on a desert in Arizona. The story will follow a young couple who previously resided in New York, as they move into a small Arizona town, starting a family.
The wife, Sophie, begins to notice something strange in their new home and the locals. She also haunted by recurring visions of extraterrestrial beings.
"I've described a movie that could be seen as a simple genre picture," Lussenhop explained. "I want to do something that's elevated, I want to do movie stars, just like they did with [Roman Polanski's] Rosemary's Baby, or The Omen, or The Shining... The elevated resources would make it a much better picture."
Previously, Canadian filmmaker Anthony Scott Burns appeared in an episode of the "Bootleg Pitch Universe" to talk about his version of "Rosemary's Baby" as a teen pregnancy film.
The latest installment to the franchise is NBC's "Rosemary's Baby" mini-series which starred Zoe Saldana (Star Trek: Into Darkness) and Jason Isaacs (Fury, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).
The 1968 American psychological horror movie was written and directed by Roman Polanski, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by author Ira Levin. The film starred Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ralph Bellamy, Ruth Gordon and Maurice Evans.
New York City, 1965: Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse (Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes) are a young married couple who rent an apartment in the gothic and splendorous Bramford building in Manhattan," reads the plot summary according to IMDb. "At first, their friend and current landlord Edward "Hutch" Hutchins (Maurice Evans) tries to dissuade them from doing so: the building has a rather unsavory past. It has been occupied by cannibal killers, Satanists and witches, such as the Trench Sisters, Keith Kennedy, Pearl Ames--and the sinister Adrian Marcato, who created a scandal in the late 1890s by claiming to have conjured "The Living Devil."
The "Rosemary's Baby" remake is still without a director and release date.
