After Creepshow III... a Creepshow REMAKE!

The people who write for Variety just don't see it when they post some news nonchalantly that is what some may consider life-shattering. In a story about a new 3-pic deal with Grudge producer Taka Ichise has signed with Fox, they list all the projects the man is attached to and just pass off a remake of Creepshow like it’s no big deal. No, this is not the first we’ve heard of it with Ichise’s name attached, but any horror fan who may not have been aware of it and happened to read it in Variety would’ve likely done a spit take all over their paper/monitor.
