Cujo remake
Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of “CUJO” this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original “CUJO” motion picture in 1983, based upon Stephen King’s novel. The 1983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today’s inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).

Cujo the book and the movie feel rather dated. Not sure a remake of this is viable. I found the original movie serviceable with some excellent sequences and some wonky ones. Once it got Dee Wallace trapped in the car with Danny Pintauro the movie really hums.
But in this age of cell phones etc it's going to take some clever writing to keep the story from feeling clunky.
The video above was found by Dread Central, which says Sunn aims to have the movie out this year — although filming hasn't started yet, and they don't seem to have enough money to produce a film yet. Bleeding Cool speculates they're going to go to Cannes and try to scare up the money they need, using that video and the interest on their Facebook page.
