It's been a long time since any new has come from the long forgotten sequel to '28 Weeks Later', the project has been "on" then "off" - for years..
In a recent interview with Wired, Danny Boyle was asked for his thoughts on the sequel and when we might see it:
"Given what we’ve just been talking about, it’s very difficult to know whether zombies are overexposed now as a concept. So it’s 40/60 whether it happens or not. But we did have an idea of where to set it and what it might be about."
So the news doesn't sound good, my guess is - will not see a sequel anytime soon, if ever..
It's been a while since we heard any news for Dante Tomaselli's upcoming remake of Alfred Sole’s 1976 child slasher flick 'Alice, Sweet Alice', But today we learned that "Cold Case" star (Kathryn Morris) will take on the lead role of Catherine Spages, mom to psycho killer kid...
1976 Plot: Alice Spages is a withdrawn 12 year old girl who lives with her mother, Catherine, and her younger sister, Karen. Karen gets most of the attention from her mother, and Alice is often left out of the spotlight. But when Karen is found brutally murdered in a church before her first holy communion, all suspicions are turned towards Alice. But is a twelve year old girl really capable of such savagery? As more people begin to die at the hands of a merciless killer, Alice becomes more and more likely of a suspect...
Dante Tomaselli recently went over some facts about the upcoming flick: “All of the same characters for the most part. Similar situations, though sometimes different outcomes. Wouldn’t it be boring to know what’s coming next? Definitely some new surprises, but I can’t reveal. You won’t know where it’s going. As far as locations, it’s working-class Italian Catholic Paterson, New Jersey. The main difference is whereas the original was set in the 60s, the new one will be in the 70s.”

Back in January "Sunn Classic Pictures" announced that the company would be moving forward with a remake of the 1983 classic film 'Cujo' based on the Stephen King's novel.. The company has come up with a press release and a sales trailer:
"Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of “CUJO” this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original “CUJO” motion picture in 1983, based upon Stephen King’s novel. The 1983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today’s inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).
“CUJO” is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton’s car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal “CUJO” reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly “CUJO” charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. “CUJO’s” powerful state of insanity and violence await."
Don't hold your breath, small companies are always announcing their intentions to remake classic films.. For the most part it doesn't happen due to lack of money or rights issues..
