Walter Hill, who most recently wrapped the Sylvester Stallone-starrer Bullet To The Head, has partnered with The Aldrich Company to develop a remake of the 1962 Bette Davis-Joan Crawford classic What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Hill will write the script and direct the film. The original was directed and produced by Robert Aldrich, with Lukas Heller adapting the Henry Farrell novel.

This will be the second remake, there was an early 90's version with the Redgrave sisters.

Whoever had the idea of remaking 'Baby Jane' deserves to have a rat served to them on a silver platter.

I tend to not believe the the idea of someone "rolling over in their grave" over some current injustice in the world. However in this case, I could see Bette Davis in particular, doing so.

Where are they going to come up with another Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Victor Buono??

Good Luck

I think Hollywood needs to stop doing crappy remakes of great movies and try creating their own movies. Then again, some of the original movies that they have come up with in the last few years have been pretty bad too.
