Before M3GAN was busting moves and breaking limbs and before Chuckie made knife attacks look like Child's Play, there was Fats in the 1978 cult horror classic, Magic. Now, news from The Hollywood Reporter confirms that horror legend Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Weapons producer, Roy Lee, are working with Lionsgate to remake the movie and bring Fats back for a frightening performance.
Directed by Richard Attenborough, the 1978 film followed Corky, a down-on-his-luck magician played by Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins, who resorts to using a ventriloquist doll named Fats to improve his act. Things look promising until sinister events start to unfold as a result. Soon romance, deceit, and a very angry dummy get caught up in Corky's life. That's showbiz for you.
