Hitchcock’s Rebecca is Being Remade

Well, they have already done the unthinkable, by remaking Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal flick Psycho, and surely nothing can be worse than that, can it? Hopefully not, but I will reserve judgement.

According to Variety, DreamWorks and Working Title Films will remake Alfred Hitchcok’s Rebecca. The remake will be penned by Steven Knight who will go back to the original novel by Daphne DuMaurier.

The film “follows a naive young woman who marries a rich widower and settles in his gigantic mansion, only to find that the memory of the first wife maintains a grip on her husband and the servants.”

Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are said to be producing for Working Title. No director has been attached as of yet.
