One of the first films to jump on the SCREAM success in the 90s was the wonderful silliness of URBAN LEGEND, which has become a huge favourite among slash fans.

Directed by Jamie Blanks, the film had some cool kills, a great bogeyman and a surprising reveal, with drops of sublime stupidness that just added to the charm.

Now, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER have broken the news that along with the current success of the recent SCREAM’s and HALLOWEEN’s and with a brand new I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, set to hit the big screen, URBAN LEGEND is the next film to be given a re-boot.

Screen Gems is once more behind this Urban Legend reboot idea and have brought in genre regular Gary Dauberman to produce the film under his Coin Operated banner. Neal H. Moritz is in talks to be a producer, just like he was in the original film and Shanrah Wakefield has been hired to write the screenplay.

More as we get it….
