One remake we're looking forward to that has a really good chance of being good is Alex Winter's redux of The Gate in 3D. If Winter can capture just a fraction of the original film's charm then we're pretty damned golden. Some concept art snuck online today along with a boat load of details about the film.

We just received a bunch of interesting info regarding the currently in-development 3D reimagining of The Gate (the classic PG-13 kiddie horror from the 80s). The most interesting tidbit for Qe readers is probably that H.R. Giger is on board to design new creatures for the film. However I wouldn't expect anything quite as sinister as the Alien. The re-make is aiming to retain the PG-13 sensibilities of the original and keep the film light-hearted.

Included in the package is the film's entire story outline, which besides the odd modern tweak (Glen is now called Miles, his older sister Al is Emo, and they're being raised by a single dad) it's pretty much the same story. Dad goes out of town and the kids fight to stay alive and close the gates of hell throughout the night.

The monsters will be given more variety and screen time in the new »
