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.

In a mixed up week at the UK box office, using figures including 2 days of previews Adam Sandlers Pixels takes over a the top, the true winner is Inside Out.
If you take away the 2 days of previews Pixar's Inside Out is by far the biggest film of the weekend, and indeed of the week with only a 3% drop from the previous weeks takings.
But lets not take away from the given champion and Pixels duly takes over at the top of the UK box office with a weekend gross of £2.7 million.
After a slamming from critics last weeks top film, Fantastic Four, makes a dramatic fall from the top and lands at number 6 this week with a total gross after 2 weekends of £4.8 million.
The re-image of the superhero franchise simply hasn't worked and the new film will come no-where near the 2005 version which took £12.4 million or it's sequel 4: Rise of The Silver Surfer which took almost the same amount.
Other new film this week include The Man From U.N.C.L.E. at number 4 and Trainwreck, on a limited release, at number 5, Simon Pegg's new film Absolutely Anything enters at number 9.
