A Jacob's Ladder remake has been put into development.
Ld Entertainment will finance the project and has hired Jeff Buhler to write the script, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is said to be an "homage" rather than a straight adaptation of the 1990 psychological horror.
The original centred around Tim Robbins as a Vietnam veteran whose life is consumed by strange and terrifying visions.
Buhler is best known for writing the movie adaptation of Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train.
Jake Wade Wall, who worked on the 2006 remake of When a Stranger Calls, provided the first draft of the script.
The Jacob's Ladder remake is currently seeking a director. »
