I'm of the opinion that Michael Bay makes some amazing SFX-laden summer popcorn flicks like this past year's Transformers. That said...Rosemary's Baby? The baby better transform into a demon or Tom Cruise once it is birthed...because when you start remaking one of the oldest yet best horror movies ever made...you better BRING IT!
Paramount is in negotiations with horror shingle Platinum Dunes to bring back the classic for a new generation of moviegoers.
Partners Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce the remake.
"Baby" was a best-selling novel by playwright-author Ira Levin ("The Boys From Brazil," "The Stepford Wives"). The book was adapted in 1968 into a much-loved Paramount movie directed by Roman Polanski that starred Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and Ruth Gordon, who won an Oscar for her role.
The story follows a young couple who move into a gothic New York apartment, where they are befriended by their elderly neighbors. After the woman becomes mysteriously pregnant, she discovers that the neighbors actually are part of a coven of witches and that her husband has allowed her to be impregnated by the devil in exchange for a successful career.
