Cliffhanger (reboot)

[Brian in Mesa]

StudioCanal has announced that it will be teaming with Neal Moritz's L.A.-based Original Films to reboot 1993's Cliffhanger, the action adventure thriller directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone.

Variety says the new version will center on a group of young climbers. "Just as they rebooted 'Star Trek,' we're going to do the same with 'Cliffhanger,'" said Moritz, who will produce. Unlike the original, where Italy stood in for the Colorado Rockies, the new redo looks set to feature multiple cliff-face locations.

Moritz (Fast & Furious) and StudioCanal are looking to attach a screenwriter for a 2010 shoot.

Why?

Maybe because if its done right will make a butt load of money.

I wonder if they're going with a whole new idea or by "a group of young climbers" they mean a young Gabe, Hal, and Jessie (and maybe some others)?

They will not be able to top Ace Ventura's version.

What a random movie to re-make. It's one of those movies I'll watch when ever it's on TNT or something.
