Fincher Reincarnating The Reincarnation of Peter Proud

Source:THR Heat Vision Blog
November 9, 2009


Director David Fincher and writer Andrew Kevin Walker are reteaming for the first time since Seven for The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, an update of the 1975 movie which starred Michael Sarrazin and Margot Kidder and was directed by J. Lee Thompson.

Based upon the Max Ehrlich novel, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud centers on a college professor who begins having recurring dreams and nightmares and, realizing they are images of a past life, decides to search out the source of the visions. With his girlfriend in tow, he discovers a woman and her grown-up daughter who are keys to his past life. According to the blog post, the supernatural thriller drew heat for a subplot involving incest.

Rather then remaking the '75 film, this new version will be adapted from the original source material and contemporized. Fincher will produce the flick with Michael De Luca. Fincher's set to helm The Social Network, the Aaron Sorkin-scripted film about the formation of Facebook next.

Rather than doing what they said they'd do, Remake the film, they are going to continue the rotten trend of buying a movie title and substituting it with a script that they could not get made.

Too bad. These "In name Only" remakes suck.

They're basing it on the original book. The original movie was written by the author of the book, so it won't be all that different.
