Jordan Peele Producing THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS Remake!
Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs celebrates its 29th anniversary this Sunday. And today we hear Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us) will produce a remake.
Collider reports Peele will produce with Win Rosenfeld. It’s unlikely Peele will direct the film but he might provide the script as he did for Nia DaCosta’s Candyman.
We’ll keep you updated. Stay tuned!
The original film followed young Fool (Brandon Adams) who breaks into the home of his family’s greedy and uncaring landlords, he discovers a disturbing scenario where incestuous adult siblings have mutilated a number of boys and kept them imprisoned under stairs in their large, creepy house. As Fool attempts to flee before the psychopaths can catch him, he meets their daughter, Alice (A.J. Langer), who has been spared any extreme discipline by her deranged parents.
It sports a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes with this Critics Consensus: Held aloft by gonzo black comedy and socially conscious subtext, The People Under The Stairs marks a unique — though wildly uneven — change of pace for director Wes Craven.
