Remake

Lifetime announced a remake of the film in December 2015 with James Franco serving as executive producer although not much else was known about the project.[1] In April 2016 Vulture revealed that Franco had reimagined the film as a "a same-sex vampire love story." [2] Franco had stated that he was partly inspired by Will Ferrell's Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption to make a "a very non-Lifetime movie on Lifetime."[2]
