Portman to star in Suspira redo

What do you do with classic movies monsters? Resurrect them, again and again.
Alongside compatriots Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser, Dario Argento’s 1977 classic horror film Suspiria is being remade.
Directed and written by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Snow Angels), the redo will star Natalie Portman as a young ballet dancer who discovers there are supernatural goings-on at her new school.
In an interview with 'TIME', Green outlined the process thus far.
“I just finished the script, based on the original [movie]. I wrote it with my production sound mixer, which is a new approach for me. I usually start on page one and write stream of consciousness. But I thought it would be cool to work with a guy who's an engineer,” Green said. “Not only is he a horror aficionado, but he has a technical perspective on everything he does. The script is far more structured than usual. It's the first thing I would do — assuming it gets made — that is not highly improvised. I've got a lot of ambitious ideas for it, inspired by Polanski and Kubrick and Argento himself. As much as I love the original, there are a lot of missed opportunities that I'm trying to go for in this one.”
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble indeed.
