Martyrs, the French horror film from Pascal Laugier, is getting the remake treatment as many of you know. And rumors were rampant that Kristen Stewart would be joining the cast, but alas, those are just rumors. Daniel Stamm, director of the remake, laughed when asked about the casting move and said that it was “the first I’ve heard of that.” As disturbing as it is to consider no Stewart, the more concerning issue at this point is that Stamm directed the previous PG-13 horror The Last Exorcism, and he’s already stating that his version will offer “a glimmer of hope,” the LA Times reports.
This news makes it seem as if the producers, who were also behind Twilight by the way, are completely oblivious to the original version of Martyrs. Let’s just hope they don’t try to tame it down for the teenage crowd. You couldn’t pull that off without de-gutting what made Laugier’s take so successful. But this is Hollywood, we’re talking about, so it’s a distinct possibility.
