After years of silence, talk of the remake of Jacob's Ladder (Jacob's Ladder), the supernatural/horror thriller directed by Adrian Lyne in 1990 and starring Tim Robbins as a Vietnam veteran in the grip of horrific hallucinations.
Directing the remake will be David M. Rosenthal while the screenplay is assigned to Sarah Thorpe and Jeff Buhler. The latter is the screenwriter of Next stop: hell (Midnight Meat Train) as well as the writer and director of Insanitarium. Confirmed for the lead role is Michael Ealy (Underworld - The Awakening).
