We haven't heard anything about the remake of Suspiria since earlier this year, but Pineapple Express and Your Highness director David Gordon Green is still planning a remake of Suspiria. While talking with Complex, David discussed how Black Swan has had an impact on the remake:
"It did inspire me to think, 'Well, I want to go younger now. I want this to be about 14, 15-year-old girls, rather than women who are Natalie’s age.' It made not want to do what Black Swan kind of did with the psychology and thriller elements of older characters. If anything, I want to focus on the younger, more naïve kinds of characters—the wide-eyed, Snow White version of the movie, rather than a more sophisticated, sexual version of it."
He also discusses his previously mentioned plan to use the Goblin score from the original in at least part of the film and it sounds like he's still aiming for an R-rated film that will contain gory death scenes similar to the original film. While he has been working on the project for some time now, it is not a "done deal" at this point. Like many films, it comes down to financing, and he's currently looking for the right backers:
"I would love for it to be [my next film], yeah. But the reality of handling the obstacles that come with it is tougher than just saying the movie will happen next, you know? I definitely need the right amount of money so the film can have an elegance to it. I don’t want to make the low-budget, schlocky version of it; I want it to be beautiful and interesting, and have an elegant quality to it. The original film is such a vivid, artistic creation that it’d be terrible to make a lo-fi, grunge version of it."
