Simon West is in talks to direct a remake of the cult horror movie
When a Stranger Calls, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The script is a redo of the 1979 film, which was released by Columbia Pictures. The studio also is developing a sequel called
When a Stranger Returns.
The original film starred Carol Kane as a high school student traumatized while baby-sitting, after she receives calls she thinks are coming from the parents asking her to check on the kids. The calls turn out to be coming from inside the house.
