A remake of cult '70s B-movie The Swarm is in the works.
According to The Wrap, producers Roy Lee (The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity) are looking to mount a new version of Irwin Allen's disaster movie.
Based on Arthur Herzog's novel, the 1978 original starred Michael Caine as an entomologist who learns that killer bees from South America are forming into huge swarms. Katherine Ross, Richard Chamberlain, Olivia de Havilland and Henry Fonda were among the supporting cast.
The Swarm flopped on its initial release, taking in $10 million on a budget of $21 million, and Caine later dubbed it the worst film he has ever made.
