Plans have been announced to remake Alfred Hitchcock's gripping 1941 thriller Suspicion.

Hitch's original big screen version, which itself was based on a 1931 Francis Iles novel called Before The Fact, starred Joan Fontaine as a woman who starts to suspect her lying husband Cary Grant could also be a murderer.

Fontaine won an Oscar for her appearance as the suspicious wife.

Could it work? Who could recreate Cary Grant's effortless charm? Or is it just another example of unnecessary celluloid grave-robbing? We'll see next year.

Dan Aykroyd has vigorously denied claims Bill Murray sent a prospective script for Ghostbusters 3 back to him in a box shredded.

An American magazine also claimed Murray, the most implacably opposed to a third Busters outing, included a note saying "No one wants to pay, money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts."

Aykroyd has dismissed the claims as nonsense, but whatever the truth, it seems that Ghostbusters 3 is looking as far away as ever.

Brian Taylor, one of the brains behind Jason Statham's Crank movies, is to give the hit video game Twisted Metal a big-screen makeover.

The game features an underground racing tournament in which drivers in souped-up vehicles race to the death.

The fact that the idea already seems to have been done to death in Death Race doesn't seem to matter.

Guillermo del Toro, the man who missed out on directing the Hobbit, has agreed to make a new version of Beauty And The Beast.
