Acclaimed Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name”), revealed in a recent interview with Collider that he would love to do a “very scary” remake of Universal Pictures’ “The Mummy” (1932).
Information about this emerged during the interview about Guadagnino’s latest work, the cannibalistic romantic horror drama “Bones and Everything”, starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell.
As we know Guadagnino directed the riveting new version of ‘Suspiria’, released in 2018, Nemiroff asked the Italian which horror classic he would most like to redo, a question that generated a lot of excitement and the desire for the best answer possible.
“Oh my God. That’s an amazing question that I wasn’t prepared for. Oh my God, what am I supposed to do? I think it would be amazing to do something about ‘La Mummy’, said the director.
“It’s a rotten body in rotten bandages, so what’s inside is just as interesting as what’s outside.” While both the 1999 remake and the 2017 film directed by Tom Cruise took the action-adventure route, Guadagnino would rather rely on the concept of horror.
