New Line Cinema planning The Last of Sheila remake
The murder mystery followed a rich Hollywood producer who invites a group of friends to his yacht for a mysterious scavenger hunt. The party takes place one year after his wife's death, who passed at a previous party from a hit and run accident. The vacation turns from a joyful experience to a deadly game of cat and mouse, with many secrets revealed as the night unfolds.
The original starred James Coburn, Raquel Welch, James Mason, Ian McShane and Dyan Cannon.
Beau Flynn is producing the project. He is best known for his work on Journey to the Center of the Earth, which grossed over $300 million worldwide, and this year's sequel, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The studio is currently searching for a writer.
The Last of Sheila was released June 14th, 1973 and stars Richard Benjamin, Dyan Cannon, James Coburn, Joan Hackett, James Mason, Ian McShane, Raquel Welch, Yvonne Romain. The film is directed by Herbert Ross.

I agree. This is not the action-thriller, car chase and explosions sort of mega-hit. If he was smart - he'd leave it to a really A-List cast to weave the threads. I imagine more of a "Identity" psychological thriller that is quiet and calculating. David Lynch would be an obvious pick for this, but I think Jodie Foster would do a fantastic job and bring a different element of death/suicide/murder from the female perspective.

I have doubts about the director and this material being put together. The Last of Sheila 3D is not appealing.
