A Nightmare on Elm Street: The focus of Platinum Dunes appears to be on Friday the 13th right now, so don't expect Nightmare to arrive until 2010.
Piranha: Director Alexandre Aja moves from Mirrors to decidedly more campy (and 3-D!) fare in this remake of the 1978 killer fish tale that rode Jaws' coattails as far as it could. Expect a nibble in the summer of '09.
Quarantine: This remake of the Spanish zombie flick [Rec], starring Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter, is ready to hit screens October 17, 2008.
Rosemary's Baby: Platinum Dunes strikes again, announcing in March 2008 that it's pursuing Rosemary's Baby. Since things are so early, and with Friday and Nightmare likely coming first, I wouldn't expect anything before 2010.
Silent Night, Deadly Night: If they're gonna remake Prom Night and My Bloody Valentine, they may as well go back for the killer Santa slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night. If all goes as planned, this will land in time for Christmas 2008.
The Stepfather: If there was any doubt that this psycho stepdad remake -- written by J.S. Cardone and directed by Nelson McCormick -- would get made, the success of the Cardone/McCormick vehicle Prom Night ensured that it would. Expect it in time for Halloween '09...and don't be surprised if it's PG-13.
Suspiria: In March 2008, director David Gordon Green (All the Real Girls, Pineapple Express) confirmed that he's written the script, although there's no word on whether he'll direct or when production would begin.
The Uninvited: For some reason, this remake of the acclaimed Korean hit A Tale of Two Sisters has been slapped with the rather generic title The Uninvited. It concerns a pair of sisters who return from a mental hospital following their mother's suicide to find their father remarried and their house full of dark supernatural secrets. It's scheduled to hit theaters January 30, 2009.
The Wolf Man: Along with The Birds, this remake of the werewolf classic will likely feature the biggest budget on this list. It stars Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins and opens April 3, 2009. If it's a big success, you can bet that other old Universal horror film remakes will follow: The Creature from the Black Lagoon, maybe The Invisible Man or The Bride of Frankenstein or Dracula's Cousin's Half-Sister.
