New 'Amityville Horror' Movie Adds the Director Behind One of The Conjuring Franchise's Best Movies

While Warner Bros. dominates the box office thanks to The Conjuring: Last Rites another story that involves the movie’s real-life paranormal professionals, Ed and Lorraine Warren, is in the works — just not how you think. Today, news broke that David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation) will back a brand-new project that will reimagine Stuart Rosenberg’s 1979 supernatural horror flick, The Amityville Horror for Amazon MGM Studios. Already pulling in the best of the best for what will serve as the second remake of the ghostly tale following Andrew Douglas’ 2005 film that saw Ryan Reynolds take over the character first played by James Brolin, the film is set to be co-penned by Ian Goldberg and Richard Nging, who are riding high from the success of The Conjuring: Last Rites. Although no casting is set at this time, we’re eager to hear more about the project and how the creative team chooses to move forward as they pour new vision into a longtime iconic film for the horror community.
