Ghost House Loves Them Some 'Substitute' Teaching


Mandate and Ghost House Pictures have just made out like bandits on a deal that will give them the rights to remake two Danish films, one of which is the supernatural/alien flick The Substitute. According to the Hollywood Reporter, The Substitute has been set up at Columbia and is being developed separately from the main Mandate slate, but it will be released under the Ghost House banner, which Mandate runs in concert with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. Raimi and Tapert will produce and Josh Donen, Nathan Kahane, Bornedal and Michael Obel will exec produce. Andrea Giannetti is overseeing for Columbia. The Substitute centers on a sixth-grade class and its substitute teacher who turns out to be an alien.
