Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes continues to broaden beyond remakes (like AMITYVILLE, THE HITCHER, and two CHAINSAWs) by setting up FIASCO HEIGHTS from scripter Kyle Ward.

Story, which occurs in a stylized "hyper-real" noir environment akin to that of "Sin City," centers on a notorious hitman who teams with a failed private eye in search of a missing woman and an invaluable briefcase.

Another non-remake, the SE7EN-flavored HORSEMEN (starring Dennis Quaid), is currently in production as well. It’s about a detective who discovers connections between himself and the serial killers he’s investigating.

Fans of Dune’s remakes shouldn’t lament, though – a retooling of Hitchock’s THE BIRDS is spinning up & may go before the cameras by the end of this year. Because, you know, Hitchcock films cry out for remakes…
