No argument, but I think we lost track of the thread somewhere, or at least the tangent concerning Hammer's unfilmed "lost" projects. So we're not talking remakes as much as never-mades.
Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls was mentioned, as was (by me) I am Legend (aka Night Creatrues, as it might have been called, according to Hunter).

Speaking of Matheson, who wrote the script for Hammer's adaption of the Dennis Wheatley's Devil Rides Out, I recently came across a late 1990s script to a proposed sequel to a ner-made remake of Devil called Gateway to Hell. Robin Price who used to work for Hammer apparently made the script available to Wheatley fans through a tribute site.

I was never much a fan of Wheatley's stuff, but it's interesting to see that so many years after Devil Rides Out, there are scripts being floated about.
