Future

In February 2020, a reboot of the film was announced to be in development, to be written and directed by Colin Minihan.[1] In August, Sydney Chandler, Katherine McNamara and Keith Powers were cast in the film.[2] In October 2022, Minihan revealed that the film had been cancelled due to "bad timing".[3] In the following months, Eli Roth confirmed that it was due to the studio losing interest,[4] and McNamara reported that it was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

In April 2025, it was announced that a new reboot was in development by Screen Gems, with Shanrah Wakefield writing the script. Gary Dauberman and Neal H. Moritz are set to produce, with the story aiming to be "an examination of what an urban legend looks like in a post-digital world."[6]
