Producer eyes ‘Terror Train’ remake

Ryan Rotten over at ShockTillYouDrop.com says he heard that producer Phillip Goldfine is ready to develop a remake of Roger Spottiswoode’s 1980 horror flick “Terror Train.”

Goldfine said he wants the remake to stay close to the original. Although no director or writer is on board yet, he would also like to have the film ready for fall 2009.

In the original, a bunch of fraternity guys throw a party on board a chartered train, where a cold-blooded killer joins in on the fun. The film starred Jamie Lee Curtis, David Copperfield and Hart Bochner.  

Goldfine’s project is not the only “Terror Train” remake currently in development. Gideon Raff recently wrapped filming for “Train,” which tells a similar story and stars Thora Birch. No release date has been announced yet.  

Goldfine’s producing credits include “Lost Boys: The Tribe,” “Half Past Dead” and “The Art of War II: Betrayal.”
