David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Until Dawn) has signed on to direct a new Amityville Horror film for Amazon MGM Studios.

Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing (The Conjuring: Last Rites, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) will write the script.

While details are under wraps, it is described as a reimagining of the original horror classic.

Sandberg will produce alongside The Safran Company’s Peter Safran (The Conjuring, Superman) and John Rickard (Rampage, “Peacemaker”). Sandberg’s partner Lotta Losten will executive produce with The Safran Company’s Natalia Safran.
