Director Reveals The Changeling Remake Isn’t Dead

An interesting update from our brothers at Fangoria reveals the project is alive and it doesn’t sound like Del Toro is still shepherding the project. In Fear director Jeremy Lovering spilled the beans about the redo’s new attempts to get off of the ground. Apparently, he’s up for the job.

He told the site:

“I’m really nervous about it, for obvious reasons. The original is an extraordinarily good film, and I’ve tried to take a kind of alternative point of view—doing the scenes you don’t see, the ones in between those that are in the film. THE CHANGELING has such iconic, much-copied sequences, and obviously loads of directors, from James Wan to [THE WOMAN IN BLACK’s] James Watkins and a whole bunch of others, happily acknowledge THE CHANGELING as a massively influential film. It’s the same producers [as the original] who want to make it, and it has been a very interesting process, but I’m still trying to decide whether it’s the right thing to do or not.”

Lovering says he has delivered a treatment to the producers. Time will tell if he’s the man who gets the job.
