News amityville horror Amityville Horror to Get Another Reimagining, This One From David F. Sandberg The Conjuring: Last Rites writers have already penned a script. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 9, 2025 Screenshot: MGM Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: MGM There’s another movie in the works based on The Amityville Horror, the 1977 book by Jay Anson, which outlines the alleged real-life haunting of a house in Amityville, Long Island, where a man murdered six of his family members.  The story was the basis for the 1979 movie of the same name, and spawned many other films of varying quality, including 1983’s Amityville 3-D, 1992’s Amityville: It’s About Time, and, more recently, 2005’s The Amityville Horror remake and 2017’s Amityville: The Awakening. Hollywood loves a good haunted house story, especially one based on a true crime, which means that there are no pesky issues about intellectual property. Given this, it’s not that much of a surprise to find out that another “reimagining” of Amityville Horror is in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, David F. Sandberg will direct the new Amityville film for Amazon MGM Studios. Sandberg’s previous credits include the two Shazam! movies, and Annabelle: Creation. He’s working off a script already completed by The Conjuring: Last Rites writers, Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing. Peter Safran, whose jobs include being co-chair of all things DC at Warner Bros. Discovery with James Gunn as well as overseeing his production studio, is involved here as well as a producer via The Safran Company. Safran is also behind The Conjuring franchise, including the Annabelle movies, as well as the Shazam! films.  This project is apparently still in its early days, although the script is already written. No news yet on who will be in cast on the film, or when it will go into production and/or make its way to a theater near you.
