Romero talks Remake of The Witch at Comic Con

At Comic Con George Romero sat down with IGN to talk about a potential remake of Season of the Witch. As most horror nuts will know the film was never quite finished right since George ran out of money while filming. He told IGN via FilmStalker.

"I've always felt that it's not really a complete work. We sort of managed to get a rope around it and finish it in a halfway decent way, but it's the only one that I'd like to redo...

...I think it could be pertinent in a different way...There are still women's issues and there are still jerky guys like [Joan Mitchell's] husband, still brutal - to say nothing of being insensitive, but actually brutal - so I'd like to remake it."

Also known as Hungry Wives and Jack’s Wife, Season Of The Witch was written and directed by George Romero and released in 1973. Joan Mitchell (Jan White) is an unhappy housewife pushing 40, who has an uncommunicative husband (Bill Thunhurst) and a distant 19-year-old daughter (Joedda McClain). Frustrated at her current situation, Joan seeks solace in witchcraft after visiting a local tarot reader. Soon, Joan believes herself to have become a real witch, withdrawing into a fantasy world until the line between fantasy and reality becomes dangerously blurred. In telling the story of bored housewives and suffocating lives, Season Of The Witch delivered what film fans the world over would come to expect from any horror film by George A. Romero, combining fear and terror with social commentary (in Witch, he targets the feminism movement of the 1970s).
