Family Room Entertainment Corporation, in conjunction with its wholly owned subsidiary, Emmett/Furla Films, Maverick Films and Integrated Films and Management,
have let us know that they've snapped up the rights to the 1980 horror classic "Terror Train", with a remake on the - excuse the pun - fast track.

The original picture, which was directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starred Jamie Lee Curtis, follows a group of college coeds being terrorized by a masked killer during a New Year’s Masquerade on a chartered train.

Ryan Elsinger (the writer/director of 2003's "Madness and Genius") has signed to write the screenplay.

Co-chairs of Family Room Entertainment Randall Emmett and George Furla stated: “We are exited about the recent developments with Terror Train and we are also enthusiastic about the marketplace’s continued demand for new and exciting horror pictures. Given the creative elements that are assembled, which now includes Ryan, we are very hopeful about the future of this project.”
