Universal Remaking the Classic 1956 Monster Movie 'THE MOLE PEOPLE'

Universal Pictures is venturing underground and reviving the 1950s classic ‘THE MOLE PEOPLE’ for a new remake reports Deadline.

Chris Winterbauer is writing the script, based on a pitch that Universal Pictures acquired from Winterbauer, with Robert Kirkman (“The Walking Dead”) producing the remake.

“In the new take, a woman travels to a town veiled in a conspiracy to rescue her grandchildren from their father. To do this, she must fight through hell in the underground tunnels where the Mole People reside.”

Deadline reminds, “In the 1956 original, archaeologists stumble into the underground lair of a race of darkness-dwellers who can see in low light and have no pigmentation after being out of the light for so long. The high priest who rules the small pocket of mole people is threatened by the newcomers and wants them dead.”

We’ll let you know more as we learn it but for now, check out the films original trailer below.
