You’re probably already aware that Hannibal Classics is developing a new ‘Amityville Horror’ film, based on John G Jones’ “Amityville: The Evil Escapes” book. The intention is to start filming this fall for October 2012 release.
Meanwhile, Dimension Films and Miramax have announced that they will begin production on The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes, part of Miramax’s strategy to release sequels to some of their most popular properties.
The new movie will take place after the events depicted in the original Amityville Horror film; the plan being to shoot the film in the popular found footage-style (a la Paranormal Activity).
Casey La Scala and Daniel Farrands will direct from their own script. Jason Blum (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) is producing.
Shooting begins this summer for a January 27, 2012 release.
Story Summary: An ambitious female television news intern, on the verge of breaking the most famous haunted house case in the world, leads a team of journalists, clergymen and paranormal researchers into an investigation of the bizarre events that will come to be known as The Amityville Horror … only to unwittingly open a door to the unreal that she may never be able to close.
“We are thrilled to return to the mythology of ‘The Amityville Horror’ with a new and terrifying vision that will satisfy our existing fans and also introduce an entirely new audience to this popular haunting phenomenon,” said producer Bob Weinstein.
