Shoot ‘Em Up and Snakes on a Plane producer Jeff Katz has been trying to grab the rights to remake ’80s slasher flick Sleepaway Camp for years now with no luck…not until now.

Katz has acquired the right from writer and director Robert Hiltzik, producer Michele Tatosian, and actress Felissa Rose, who starred in the movie as Angela, a shy girl who goes to a summer camp where a killer shows up and starts taking out campers.

The new version will retell the story in a modern setting, while still holding on tight to the things that made the original a cult classic horror movie.

In addition to the remake news, Shout Factory has also announced that the original Sleepaway Camp will be released on Blu-ray for the first time ever in the spring.
