Quiet Place Remake Is In The Works
It’s official,
and this is going to be extremely controversial. The rumors have been
floating around for years, and finally, it's going to happen. There is
going to be a remake of 2006's short indie film, The
Quiet Place. Who dares to remake the film? I’m
going to, and perhaps as early as 2011. I’m not entirely sure if
the name will be close to the original or not (although I may call it,
simply, "Quiet Place", dropping the "The",
so that there is not any confusion), but it will have all-new characters,
and an entirely new story. I will be starting
with the premise of the original Chris Woods script,
and will be writing an entirely new script from that premise. I’m
not ripping off anyone, either, as I am only working off of the basic
premise, and will be crediting Chris Woods with an “Inspired by
the original script for The Quiet Place, by Chris Woods”
in the credits, or maybe even on-screen at the beginning of the film (although,
please note, that this is entirely my deal, and Chris Woods, unless he
wants to get involved, will not be involved. He also had nothing to do
with my decision to remake the film. I'm sure that he will be pleased
with the outcome, however, although I think that Woods would have done
the original justice. If Chris Woods had been abe to retain his full original
script, and he would have directed the original, I believe that it would
have been a great film, and a remake would not be necessary. Chris Woods
is, perhaps, the best filmmaker in Tampa).
I’m pretty sure that I can get Harmony Oswald,
the lead actress in the original The Quiet Place, cast as one
of the lead characters in this new film the next time that she is down
in Florida, because I’m the one who referred her to the original
The Quiet Place back in 2006. Harmony met me back in 2004 as
one of my clients for headshot photography and modeling, and we are good
friends. I may also cast some of the other actors from the original (I'll
have to talk to Somali, and some of the others, about that, although I
will have to cast a fresh actress to play the teen daughter), which, of
course, will help to avoid any confusion with the flawed original.
The remake will be a great short film, based on the premise of the original,
and will be done at far less cost, with a smaller cast, and a minimal
crew. The result of this effort, I predict, will be a film which will
be superior to the original in every way.
So, what will my original story for the remake be about? It will be about
loss, guilt, and states of sanity. That’s all I can say for now.
I just know, however, that I won’t go wrong casting Harmony in the
lead, and the story will revolve around a young mother who has lost her
daughter, and then has to deal with the consequences when she finally
finds her.
