Studio race for Amityville Horror remake
Two Hollywood studios are in a race to be first to the screens with a film based on the events that led to the 1979 horror hit The Amityville Horror.
A week after MGM signed with director Michael Bay for a remake, Dimension studios acquired the life rights of George Lutz, who lived in the famed Long Island haunted house and experienced the paranormal happenings attributed to the murder of an entire family that had previously lived there.
