The film is being produced for Revolution Studios by Carpenter ("Halloween"), Hill ("Escape from L.A.," "The Fisher King," "Escape from New York," "Halloween") and David Foster ("The River Wild," "The Thing," "Running Scared") from a screenplay by Cooper Layne ("The Core"). Derek Dauchy and Dan Kolsrud are serving as executive producers. Shane Riches is serving as associate producer. The film stars Tom Welling, Maggie Grace, Selma Blair, DeRay Davis and Rade Serbedgia.
In Revolution Studio's horror/thriller "The Fog" there really is something out there in the dark. In the small town of Antonio Bay, a terrifying and malevolent force hidden within a thick and eerie fog terrorizes its residents. Shrouded by the fog lies a ghastly secret of merciless revenge, one that the town's inhabitants would do well to unravel -- before it's too late.
"'The Fog' is one of the true classics of the horror genre, and we are thrilled to be updating it for today's audience," said Revolution Studios Partner Todd Garner. "We are working with a tremendously talented young cast and director along with two accomplished filmmakers, John Carpenter and David Foster. We hope that this film serves as a lasting legacy to the late Debra Hill, who was instrumental in making this film possible."
