Nicolas Winding Refn has already added two remakes to his upcoming slate this month in Maniac Cop and The Witchfinder General, and now we have a third, with Deadline reporting that the Danish filmmaker is set to produce a new version of Massimo Dallamano’s 1972 giallo What Have You Done to Solange?.
The Los Angeles-set remake will team Refn with Fulvio Lucisano, who produced the original film and has released all of Refn’s films in Italy. The duo reportedly decided to move forward with the project after Refn presented a restored cut of Lucisano’s Planet of the Vampires in Cannes last week.
“[The remake is part of a] continuing renewal of genre movies, and bringing them to a new audience,” said Refn. “I’ve really cherry-picked films that I think have a strong potential to be reinvented and also something that is artistically out there.”
What Have you Done to Solange? is loosely based on Edgar Wallace’s mystery novel The Clue of the New Pin and takes place in an all-girls school, where a sexually sadistic killer is preying on the students.
