Platinum Dune's mission to remake/re-imagine classic horror films seems to work out okay at the box office, but Geeks traditionally don't appreciate the prospect too much.

And, of all the titles they've targeted thus far, PD's remake of Roman Polanski's ROSEMARY'S BABY drew some of the most intense dissent.

However, according to producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, seems there's reason to rejoice...at least for now.

Andrew: We are not doing “Rosemary’s Baby”.

Brad: No, no. I mean… “Rosemary’s Baby” was announced and it’s like a little bit like we’re taking about with Freddy. We went down that road and we even talked to the best writers in town and it feels like it might not be do-able. We couldn’t’ come up with something where it felt like it was relevant and we could add something to it other than what it was so we’re now not going to be doing that film.

...per THIS DISCUSSION with Collider.

Alas, the interview does indicate the Martin Campbell's reamke of THE BIRDS is still "on"...
