NEAR DARK Remake Gets Scribe.

Posted by: Shawn

According to Fangoria.com, Matt Venne has just been hired to pen the script for the "Near Dark" remake that Rogue Pictures announced last fall. Venne is relatively new to the industry, but they must think he has a lot of talent to offer. Having just finished the script for "White Noise 2: The Light", Venne has little else to add to his resume besides also penning a script for an episode of "Masters Of Horror".

"Part of what I love about NEAR DARK is its combination of realism and poetry," Matt said during an interview "The film is a gritty look at the life of this small group of people trekking through the Southwest, who also happen to be vampires. In combination with that realistic approach, though, there are images in the original film and in Eric Red and Kathryn Bigelowâ€™s screenplay that are absolutely beautiful. Completely dreamy and captivating. Pure poetry. Itâ€™s an incredible project, and Iâ€™m honored to be writing it."

Well he talks the talk. Let's see what comes of it. We'll keep you posted. Thanks to Mike from Reelhorror.com for the heads up!
