Good news for Roald Dahl fans!

 

His novel The Witches is being remade into a film, and though we love the Anjelica Huston version, we're excited to see how this will turn out.

 

According to Variety, Robert Zemeckis is in final talks to direct the upcoming project.

You're doubtless familiar with works Robert has directed - from Forrest Gump to Romancing the Stone to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

 

It's safe to say that the remake is in good hands with the famed filmmaker.

 

 

He's penning the script with his co-writer Jack Rapke as well as Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) and Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth).

 

With writing and directing cred like that backing the remake, a whole new generation of kids are in for a nightmarish yet fantastical time.

 

Are you looking forward to a remake of The Witches? Or are you happy to keep watching the classic 90s version?
