Finally this film is being remade


Not like the 2012 version of Silent Night which was based on the Covina massacre.

Original producers are on board.

Orwo Studios and Black Hanger Studios have required the rights to the 1984 film.

Damien Cain, writer of the Halloween 2023 reboot "Michael" is said to have a few interesting treatment ideas for the film.

Silent Night, Deadly Night with no doubt has the best creativity on making a murderer . The only slasher you felt for the poor Billy character. Too bad the sequel did not live up to its original.

You heard it first!

Is Damien Cain your alter ego?

reply

No, *I'm* Damien Cain. I write all the movies, all your favorite movies. I just forego any credit because I'm a script doctor so charge more to give up my name on the movies, making it look like I don't even exist haha

reply

you read much online, its being remade.

reply

It’s being remade yes but it’s not being written by Damien Cain as Damien Cain is either you or doesn’t exist.

reply

Please, no.

reply

please no, what?

reply

Stop remaking movies that don't need to be remade. There is NO reason to remake Silent Night, Deadly Night. If the young generation can't watch an older movie without pining for a character in the movie to have a fucking cell phone or something, they don't have the sense to appreciate movies in the first place.

I think we need this to be revisited

Some treatments from what I was told were a different plot but same Billy character, other ideas floating around was a remake of the sequel. I'll let you know what I find out.

Will it be a woke fest or an actual film?

reply

Is this the earliest instance of the word 'woke' being used on this site?

reply

I'll pass. Saw 1984's, so... I've seen Silent Night Deadly Night.

reply

Explain>?

reply

Well, nothing to explain LOL, I've seen Silent Night, so...I know the plot; no need to see it again. Does...that need clarification?

reply

Not really, i get what you are saying, example THE OMEN remake was exactly like the original zzzz, but remakes like Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre a bit different.

reply

If people want to see something different, do something different. Something new. Don't hide behind the name of a well-known movie just to bank off the older movie's title. That's cheating, frankly. The best filmmakers and the best films are the ones that take risks.

reply

100% correct.

reply

THATS FUNNY...BECAUSE I FIND THE FIRST TO BE BORING AS FUCK...NOW THE SEQUEL?...ITS FIRST HALF IS A RECAP OF THE ORIGINAL AND THE SECOND HALF IS BRILLIANT...THE ORIGINAL IS REDUNDANT.

“Halloween 2023 reboot Michael”

Whoa tell me more!

Any word on the Silent Night remake?

reply

Well has this remake ever materialized?

reply

It's still in development as of now.

reply

David Gordon Green has his sights set on it after he finishes up laying waste to the Exorcist franchise

reply

I assume the remake's plot will be similar, except the time peroids would be changed from 1971 and 1984 to 2011 and 2024.
