So we're calling it "reimagining" now? With so many remakes going through Hollywood I can understand the euphemism, but let's not forget what this really is.
While I can't say I remember anything about Escape to Witch Mountain, I must confess my keen interest solely on the fact that Ciaran Hinds and The Rock have now both been cast for the remake er, sorry, reimagining currently titled Race to Witch Mountain.
See that - they even changed the title.
Ciaran Hinds, Alexander Ludwig for Race to Witch Mountain
While I don't have much of a history with Alexander Ludwig, I have been a fan of Ciaran Hinds ever since Sum of All Fears. Okay, okay, that wasn't that long ago, but every time I watch Phantom of the Opera I can't help but (literally) sing his praises.
The duo will join Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and AnnaSophia Robb.
Race to Witch Mountain revolves around a pair of paranormal-powered siblings (Ludwig, Robb) who, with the help of a Las Vegas cab driver (Johnson), go on the run from a diabolical group of men who wish to exploit their abilities. Hinds will play the nefarious leader of the pack.
Andy Fickman is on board to direct the action thriller off a script by Matt Lopez.
