“There has been a lot of movement. And for the last few weeks there has been a lot of creative / cast / crew / visual talks and agreements and we have witnessed great progress in areas,” said del Toro. “I have to be patient and wait until the papers are done and my attachment is real. Nevertheless- a LOT of progress in defining the films, their cast and crew. And, may I add, we are all happily in synch about all creative aspects so far and all willing and eager to move forth.”

The movie has blown out of the water the final gross of the original Jamie Lee Curtis star vehicle and has grossed twice the amount in it’s opening weekend than the Jessica Alba horror vehicle The Eye.

It’s bad news for those wanting R-Rated horror films to return. Prom Night was a squeaky clean PG-13 and there’s little doubt that high school females were attracted to this picture. The movie also had no stars and could be bad news for the Alba’s, The Gellar’s and the like who can’t find an audience these days. Studio’s may in the future go cheaper.
