Regular readers will know that Hug is a one stop nexus for all your movie wants but we’re also conscious of the fact that other sites can only provide you with information about the film culture of This universe. We strive to do better. Utlilising transdimensional bandwidth, we’ve linked to our sister site in a parallel sphere in order to bring you the first in a series on counterfactual movies from the other side.
We’re going further than your imagination would dare in order to give you the exclusive lowdown on the celluloid that’s inspired a tranche of film fanatics very different to ourselves.
The first in this series takes a look at Stanley Kubrick’s Ghostbusters.

We know Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis’ supernatural comedy as one of the defining blockbusters of the Eighties. A seemingly effortless fugue of Thirties style screwball patter and Saturday Night Live wit, »

Another Amityville Horror Reboot?
2 December 2009 6:45 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The current trend in Hollywood to "reimagine" or "reboot" a movie franchise rather than create a sequel continues. This time, it's a horror movie that has already been rebooted in recent years. The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films, according to Bloody Disgusting, are planning on rebooting The Amityville Horror less than five years after producer Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes reimagined the 1979 original.
Based on the 1977 book The Amityville Horror: A True Story by Jay Anson, the original movie starred James Brolin and Margot Kidder as newlyweds who are driven out of their house in Amityville, New York, by evil entities from beyond the grave. The 2005 version starred Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George and was marketed by MGM as being based on new information about the supposedly true events.
Other than the news that an unspecified director may already be in talks to direct the reboot, there's no other information about the project. »

Margot Kidder Writing a Morbid Chick Flick
9 November 2009 7:35 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
During a Q&A session at Minneapolis' Crypticon horror convention this weekend, guest Margot Kidder revealed she's writing a script for what could be a badass chick flick. The revelation was quite a treat for this Kidder fan. I've enjoyed her work since I was in Superman Underoos and loved the shit out of her performances in a trio of '70s horror classics: Sisters, Black Christmas and The Amityville Horror. Kidder said her script-in-progress is "about a group of women helping an elderly woman get out of the hospital to die somewhere nice and peaceful, without doctors around her." The women conspire to smuggle their friend out of the hospital and spirit her away to a remote cabin, where she can die amidst nature. Sounds like it could be a depressing-ass flick, but Kidder described it thusly: "It's sort of a romp and a middle-aged babe sisterhood kind of thing." "It's »

David Fincher And 'Se7en' Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker Re-Team For 'Peter Proud' Adaptation
9 November 2009 1:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Fifteen years after working together on "Se7en," director David Fincher and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker are reuniting for a new adaptation of Max Ehrlich's novel "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The book was previously made into a 1975 movie by Ehrlich, who adapted his own work, and J. Lee Thompson, best known for helming the original "Cape Fear."
As with many films dealing with reincarnation, the plot is pretty ridiculous even if you believe in the concept. A college professor has nightmares involving a murder, which he eventually realizes was his own, from a previous life. And in the process of discovery, he unknowingly becomes romantically involved with his (past incarnation's) daughter.
Despite the silly and scandalous storyline, Ehrlich's book could lend itself to an interesting, Hitchcockian sort of psychological thriller. Unfortunately, Thompson's original film is apparently not good for much more than seeing a »

'Seven' Duo Reunite for Supernatural 'Reincarnation' Thriller
9 November 2009 11:31 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The Hollywood Reporter reports David Fincher is now attached to direct the adaptation of Max Ehrlich's novel "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" for Columbia Pictures with his Seven screenwriter, Andrew Kevin Walker, aboard to pen the screenplay.
The story 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.
The THR article says the supernatural thriller drew heat for a subplot involving incest, but the director and writer will be heading back to the novel as the source material and will contemporize the story.
"The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" has already seen the bigscreen once when Ehrlich penned the adaptation of his own work and J. Lee Thompson directed »

David Fincher Reincarnates 'Peter Proud'
9 November 2009 11:03 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Everything old is new again for David Fincher. He's brought in Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker to adapt the 1975 novel The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, which was also turned into a film that same year.
The Hollywood Reporter says Fincher will set up shop at Columbia, co-producing with Michael De Luca. Proud is a college professor who begins having strange nightmares that appear to include images from a previous life, so he starts to investigate what might be causing them. One of the nightmares involves murder - Murder! - and, at least in the movie, Margot Kidder.
This journey eventually leads him across the country to the mysterious woman he's been seeing in his dreams, but what does it mean? What does it all mean? »

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog, Columbia Pictures is now behind the David Fincher-directed remake of 1975’s The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud. Fincher had previously been working on the project for Paramount, where it had been in development for almost a decade.

The original movie, directed by J. Lee Thompson and scripted by Max Ehrlich from his novel, stars Michael Sarrazin and Margot Kidder in the tale of a man who is plagued by nightmares that turn out to be visions of a past life, and sets out to uncover their source. While the redux’s setting will be modernized, Fincher and Walker, who also co-scripted the upcoming Wolfman remake, »

David Fincher Makes Peter Proud
9 November 2009 6:18 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
David Fincher’s career is pretty much flawless. You might cry “blasphemy!” simply because of Alien 3, but I’ll be very honest with you: that is not a bad entry in that series, no matter what you might believe. And then Fight Club? Zodiac? Seven?
Now, he’s working on an adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, to be scripted by Seven’s Andrew Kevin Walker. The story has already been self-adapted by the author once for a film in the mid-1970s, starring Margot Kidder.
According to THR, the film 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.”
Yeah, that reads like a Fincher logline, »

I'll be honest and admit that only within the past month did I have the exquisite joy of finally seeing David Fincher's film Se7en for the first time. It was just one of those embarrassing films that I hadn't ever taken the time to see. But having been blown away by it, my excitement is now off the charts as THR's Heat Vision reports that the trio (director, writer, producer) behind the twisted serial killer thriller is reuniting for an adaptation of Max Ehrlich's novel The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Fincher will be directing from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker (of Se7en as well) and producing with Michael De Luca again. Back in 1975 Ehrlich wrote an adaptation of his own book with J. Lee Thompson directing Michael Sarrazin and Margot Kidder in the film. The story centers on a college professor who begins having recurring dreams and nightmares and, »

The Reincarnation Of David Fincher

David Fincher's next gig, following Facebook app The Social Network which he's just started shooting, looks set to be The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. It'll re-team the director with Seven's writer Andrew Kevin Walker, who will adapt the novel by Max Ehrlich.The 35-year-old supernatural thriller involves a university lecturer's attempts to prove he's the reincarnation of somebody who died shortly before he was born, and to solve the mystery of his murder, for which the killer was never caught. It was filmed once before: a 1975 Bing Crosby production by J Lee Thompson, starring Margot Kidder and Michael Sarrazin, and adapted by Ehrlich himself. We all know David Fincher's stellar trajectory from Alien 3 to Benjamin Button, but Walker's path has been rockier. He followed Seven with the dodgy 8mm (heavily rewritten by Joel Schumacher) and Tim Burton's awesome Sleepy Hollow, but then, through uncredited rewrites »

Screenwriter and filmmaker Robert Towne.
Forget It Bob, It’S Chinatown
Robert Towne looks back on Chinatown’s 35th anniversary
By
The haunting trumpet wailing plaintively over the closing credits. The bandage covering star Jack Nicholson’s nose. The best last line of a movie, ever: “Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown"; all elements of a film now regarded by scholars, critics and cinefiles alike as one of the greatest pieces of American celluloid ever made. Chinatown was a collaboration between a who’s-who of ‘70s film icons. Directed by Roman Polanski, produced by Robert Evans, written by Robert Towne, starring Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, shot by John Alonso, and scored by Jerry Goldsmith, Chinatown was nominated for 11 Academy Awards in 1974, but brought home only one: for its writer. Robert Towne was barely 40, and Chinatown his first produced original screenplay, his previous efforts having been literary adaptations, such as 1973’s The Last Detail. »
