The Plane, the plane, the famous words of Tattoo as he lets Mr. Roarke know the action is about to kick off, and now Sony have a remake which has more of a horror slant, and the first trailer is out now.

The new movie is directed by Jeff Wadlow who has a pedigree in horror movies and stars Maggie Q in the title role so the movie will have a very different feel to the TV show.

the film will stay true to the TV show aspects, guest are seen arriving on a plane, but by its nature it'll probably turn into a bit of a slasher movie by the end and not all guest will escape the island!

The film has a release date of Valentines Day which is becoming the new Halloween for horror releases.

Check out the trailer below.
