Over at Box Office Mojo, it was revealed that the Paramount/DreamWorks chiller THE RUINS, which is just now gearing up for production and has yet to announce a cast, has already staked out a March 7, 2008 release date. This is one of the more exciting major-studio projects set for the next year—not only because it isn’t a remake, but because it’s based on a widely praised Scott Smith novel and is being scripted and helmed by Carter Smith, whose short horror movie BUGCRUSH has won raves from everyone who’s seen it. The film, in which a group of young friends vacationing in Cancun face true terror when they’re persuaded to help a fellow tourist search for his missing brother, is lensing in Australia.
