As I have mentioned many times, I have this thing for horror films. I’m not great lover of all things scary but I just can’t keep away when I get an opportunity to watch something that might scare me. Well, it doesn’t have to scare me but it will at least raise the question “what if”…

Anyway, Variety reports that Joel Silver’s Dark Castle has set “I Saw What You Did,” a remake of the 1965 William Castle-directed “I Saw What You Did and I Know Who You Are!”

The original Castle pic, which starred Joan Crawford, was based on the Ursula Curtis novel “Out of the Dark” and revolved around two girls who innocently pass the time making prank phone calls to unsuspecting people until they call the wrong guy.

The film will be will be produced by Silver, Andrew Rona and Steve Richards. Patrick Lussier will direct. Lussier has a long relationship with Andrew Rona, which goes back to his editing the first “Scream,” when Rona was co-president of Dimension.

Ah, “Scream”… That is brilliant movie. That was the film that lifted the whole horror genre in the 90′s. I remember the first time I saw it, I had this idea that it was a comedy with a dark twist or something. After the first 10 minutes, when Drew Barrymore has been slashed out on her yard, I was shocked! And I was in love with Wes Craven. Sweet memories…
