‘50s Classics for the ‘90s: A new partnership called Drive-In Classics Theater plans to produce ‘90s versions of 10 “troubled teen” flicks from the ‘50s as a cable anthology series for Showtime. Among the titles to be remade are “Rock All Night,” to be directed by Quentin Tarantino (“Reservoir Dogs”), and “Dragstrip Girl,” directed by Mary Lambert (“Pet Semetary”). The remakes “will still be set in the ‘50s, but they will be edgier, sexier and more dangerous in their feel,” said Lou Arkoff, whose father, Sam Arkoff, produced the original “drive-in” movies.
