Emily Blunt would be perfect, She is the 21st century version of Deborah Kerr.

The sequel "The Return of the Screw" was much better.

Are they doing the same two episodes of content spread out to ten again?

And they scored another horror series.
[quote]Netflix has put out an order for a new horror series from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy, the creatives behind “The Haunting of Hill House.”
[quote]The seven-episode series, titled “Midnight Mass,” will follow an isolated island community which experiences miraculous events – and frightening omens – after the arrival of a charismatic, mysterious young priest. Flanagan will direct and serve as an executive producer alongside Macy.

Oh please, this story has been made/remade so many times...
The Innocents is probably the best version, though there is a version from the late 90s (I think) starring Jodhi May which is pretty good too.

At least the first series was a ghost story. Turn of the Screw is psychosexual drama.

Will they have copious sex scenes like the Brando-Beacham version?

The film you refer to (THE NIGHTCOMBERS ?) is a prequel.

So is Netflix going to do an actual remake or a lame Homage with no actual relation to the original story, a la The Haunting of Hill House?

There's also an upcoming feature film adaptation starring Finn Wolfhard as Miles, but I think that one's more of a loose adaptation, with the story transferred to the present day.

The BBC adaptation with Michelle Dockery was disappointing.

Michelle dockery is a bit unlikable

Mike Flanagan is stealing all of Ryan Murphy's thunder at Netflix. He knows how to make a good horror anthology, with a good script and real scares.

The Finn Wolfhard film's release was pushed back a whole year, btw, which doesn't exactly bode well.

Rahul Kohli from iZombie is also going to be in this season.
Kate Siegel is also returning, but that's no surprise.

There wasn't a single scare in Haunting of Hill House. It was largely successful due to the gimmick of "hidden ghosts" in various scenes, which the internet was obsessed with for about 10 days.
There was one great scene and a couple of good scenes and the rest was filler with Flanagan's Angie-lookalike wife being mediocre and cliche.

The car scene with the bickering sisters made me jump.

Many people thought it was more sad than scary. I thought a few of the scenes with the kids were very suspenseful, and OJC did a good job of conveying real terror in his scenes at least. But I've read it described as "This Is Us but with ghosts," and that's pretty accurate. I still liked the family story.

Haunting of Hill House was a family drama with supernatural elements.

I agree, R26, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

If our Olivia de Havilland declines, then Kirsten Dunst.

Joe Manganiello was in the running for the role, but his schedule...
