Filmmaker John Stevenson hit Dread Central up to say that his planned remake of The Last Broadcast is not "dead" but is "severely delayed." Due to a wide variety of issues all coming to a head at the same time, it's looking less and less likely that The Last Broadcast will get a new life.
From filmmaker John Stevenson
My plans to remake The Last Broadcast were going great. I had new ideas and fresh takes to add in. However, issues pushed the production back. Additionally, I started materializing a Night of the Living Dead remake script with producers Loyal Ploof and Michele Pulaski-Tippett. It would take years for me to resurrect The Last Broadcast remake, and it may never come to pass.

A while ago we reported on a 3D animated remake of The Last Broadcast, which if you remember followed two filmmakers, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler, as they had their own hunt in the woods looking for a nasty local legend pre-Blair Witch. Today we learned a bit more.
Filmmaker John Stevenson dropped us a line with a quick update.
"A brand new script is being written for the remake, and I am abandoning plans to make a 3D animated film," Stevenson tells us. "Michele Pulaski and James Seward are still reprising their roles for the remake. The film will be set in present day, incorporating present social networking and technology into the film. Interior scenes will be shot in a converted warehouse when the script is finished and exterior filming will be shot in Port Republic, NJ and Batsto."
Look for more on this one soon.

Nothing shocks us anymore. Nothing. Way back in 1998, even before The Blair Witch Project became the phenom that it was, two filmmakers, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler, had their own hunt in the woods looking for a nasty local legend in The Last Broadcast. The film played like an A&E documentary with an ending so polarizing that many either sing its praises or damn it to hell. If you missed it, don't worry. Something wicked this way comes.
We received word today that filmmaker John Stevenson is hard at work on a 3D animated remake of The Last Broadcast. The film is being produced by Loyal's House of Blood Production, and Victor Miller (writer of Friday the 13th) is serving as associate producer. Even more interesting ... Michele Pulaski and James Seward are reprising their roles as the characters Michelle Monarch and Jim Suerd.

Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler's 1998 picture The Last Broadcast , arguably the film that kicked off the "found footage" resurgence, is up for a remake. Filmmaker John Stevenson says he's tackling this endeavor with Friday the 13th scribe Victor Miller on board as an associate producer. Loyal Ploof is shepherding the project under his House of Blood Productions banner. The "search for the Jersey Devil"-fueled story will be retold in 3D (of course) and is actually animated, similar to the upcoming Night of the Living Dead: Origins . "[The original film's stars] Michele Pulaski and James Seward are reprising their roles for the remake," says Stevenson. More on this production as it comes in.
