Although the scooper was anonymous, it’s been confirmed it’s official that Dave Meyers will be directing the remake. Dave has done some amazing videos and won the MYV best video award two years ago for his Missy Elliot video. More news coming soon, watch this spot.
In the original, which starred Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh, a young man transporting a car to another state is stalked along the road by a cunning and relentless serial killer who eventually frames the driver for a string of murders. Chased by police and shadowed by the killer, the driver’s only help comes from a truck stop waitress.
