RKO Pictures will remake its 1947 film noir picture "Born to Kill," the story of a greedy young woman who enlists a con artist to murder her wealthy stepsister without realizing he may have an agenda of his own, reports Variety.
The original film starred Claire Trevor and Lawrence Tierney and was directed by Robert Wise.
Veteran producer Pierre David ("Internal Affairs") will produce the updated version, with a script by Richard Dana Smith. Smith and David previously worked together on thrillers "The Stepdaughter" and "The Perfect Wife."
