Late last month, we told you that Ghost House Pictures and Good Universe had hired Jeff Buhler (Midnight Meat Train) to write a reboot of The Grudge and he shared some details on what we can expect from the new movie during a recent interview:

via FEARnet: "The first thing I would say is that, we’re not approaching this as a remake of the Sarah Michelle Gellar film, or a remake of the Ju-on film... This is pushing the mythology forward, while keeping the concepts and spirit of those movies, yet finding a new way to tell a story within that world, which is exciting... New characters, new ghost, and a new mythology..."

While we don't have a release date or director for the project yet, it was previously revealed that Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Taka Ichise are producing, with Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane set as executive producers. There's no word on Ju-on creator and The Grudge director Takashi Shimizu's involvement, but this is still in the early development stages, so we'll keep Daily Dead readers posted on any updates.
