You can't keep a good thing down, right?
David Fincher, Gillian Flynn and Ben Affleck are riding high on the commercial and critical success of last year's Gone Girl and are, no doubt, keen to keep it going.
Fincher and Affleck have signed on for a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 classic thriller Strangers On A Train, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn in talks to script the remake.
The remake will be set in present day and updated for "modern times" - how so, you ask?
Instead of playing the tennis pro in Hitchcock's original, Affleck will play a movie star in the middle of an Oscar campaign who's on his way to LA when his private plane breaks down.
Once the plane has landed, Affleck's movie star is offered a lift the rest of the way by a mysterious stranger.
Eyes may roll at the thought of Hitchcock being remade, but we'd like to point out that the man himself remade his own films.
So, y'know, shut up.
Affleck and Fincher's dance-cards are pretty full for the coming year, with Affleck shooting two small indie films called Batman V Superman and Justice League, whilst Fincher has a few plates spinning over at HBO.
Expect to see Strangers - they dropped the train, obviously - in cinemas some time in 2017.
