Lucky McKee directing Fiend without a Face Remake

Our colleagues from Fangoria spoke to the screenwriters Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson ("Toolbox Murders", "Mortuary") they confirmed that they are writing a remake of 1958's classic SciFi movie "Fiend without a Face".

Also producer Dennis Bartok revealed, "Regarding the FwaF remake, I'm producing this with Steven Schneider and my producing partners on 'Trapped Ashes', Yuko Yoshikawa and Yoshifumi Hosoya. Lucky McKee ('May', 'The Woods') is attached to direct, and Richard Gordon (producer of the original version) will executive-produce. We’re currently lining up financing for this project; hopefully it will be our next after wrapping 'Trapped Ashes'."

In an earlier Interview with Fango, Gierasch already said "We're going to make a souped-up version of a 1950s drive-in movie. We're going back to the original 'Weird Tales' story, and we are also going to reset it Stateside, most likely in Louisiana."

This new creature grows in intelligence until it finally escapes his laboratory. Once outside the lab, and closer to its nuclear power source it multiplies. The creature is also invisible, so no one knows what it looks like...
