Screen Gems’ 1998 slasher movie Urban Legend is getting a modern era reboot, with the hiring of Shanrah Wakefield to pen the script. Gary Dauberman (whose video game adaptation Until Dawn releases this month) will produce via his Coin Operated banner, while Neal Moritz, who was one of the producers of the original film, is also in negotiations to produce this new version.

The original Urban Legend, which was directed by Jamie Blanks from a script by Sylvio Horta, is set in a New England university and featured a killer whose murders were inspired by popular urban legends of the period, such as death by Pop Rocks, being pursued by a gang in a car with their lights turned off, or a re-enactment of the ‘ankle slasher under the car’ story.

The movie starred Jared Leto, Joshua Jackson, Alicia Witt, Michael Rosenbaum, Rebecca Gayheart, and Tara Reid. Two sequels followed.

Plot details of this reboot are unknown, though The Hollywood Reporter states the story aims to be an examination of what an urban legend looks like in a post-digital world.

Does that mean we can expect deaths by Slender Man, Staten Island’s Cropsey, Smile Dog, or the Man in the Walls? What other urban legends of the digital age (think back to the Creepypasta days of the internet, or what crawled out of 4chan) do you think would make for an entertaining movie moment?
