Shock Till You Drop reports that producer Ray Haboush is developing a remake of Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator in conjunction with Brian Yuzna, producer of the original and director of the two sequels.
No word on whether Jeffrey Coombs will return (although his performance is the most memorable part of the franchise), but the producers are aiming to make the new film in 3D, which is what the kids are into these days apparently.

The Green Hornet
In odd news of the day, the Hollywood Reporter has indicated that Michel Gondry has stepped in to direct Seth Rogen's Green Hornet update. Gondry is not the obvious fit for the material but it may be that writer / star Rogen has a more fantastical take on the material than previously suggested. Gondry takes over from previous director Stephen Chow, who is still expected to co-star as the Green Hornet's sidekick Kato (memorably played by Bruce Lee in the original TV series)
A Couple of Dicks
Following the commercial disappointment of Zack and Miri, ERC is reporting that Warner Bros. has signed Kevin Smith to direct the comedy A Couple of Dicks starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. with a view to a January 2010 release.
If true, this will be the first movie directed but not written by Kevin. The screenplay was written by Robb and Marc Cullen, who have worked with Kevin before as executive producers of the Smith starring 'Manchild' TV pilot. The script was featured on last years 'Blacklist', an industry insiders list of the best unproduced screenplays in town). The brief synopsis listed simply gives the plot as: "Two veteran LAPD detectives attempt to track down a stolen, mint-condition, 1952 baseball card."
