For those of you worried about the large number of remakes in Hollywood right now, you may want to give Twilight a shout of thanks. According to Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, the teenie vampire movie killed his plans to remake Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark.

Fuller tells Empire:  “I think that Twilight was the same type of thing we were going for although Near Dark was a much darker, sexier, rated R version of that. But I’m concerned that, conceptually, that Near Dark and Twilight are too similar in terms of a vampire movie. For now, that movie is on hold.”

What's he's talking about is the human falling for a vampire concept, which is done in reverse in Near Dark.

I don't think Near Dark needs a remake, but I'd certainly rather see a hard R version of that story than New Moon's impending PG-13 boredom.
