While at dinner with Steven Katz, co-writer of Revolution’s upcoming Wind Chill, it was revealed to B-D that the remake of Suspiria “probably will not happen at this point.” No reason was given other than how long its been on the back burners. Writer of the remake’s screenplay, Katz informed us that the biggest challenge in writing the script was finding a reason for the witches to be using a dance academy for their evil-doings. In his version the witches use the school as a recruiting ground for new witches. In Dario Argento’s classic original from ’77, a young American dancer travels to Europe to join a famous ballet school. As she arrives, the camera turns to another young woman, who appears to be fleeing from the school. She returns to her apartment where she is gruesomely murdered by a hideous creature. Meanwhile, the young American is trying to settle in at the ballet school, but hears strange noises and is troubled by bizarre occurrences. She eventually discovers that the school is merely a front for a much more sinister organisation.
