THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN Coming To Life Once Again
Thu, November 21, 2013 
You think Bigfoot is cool? Puh-lease.
Word comes that UK horror studio, Hammer, which brought us the 2010 remake of Let The Right One In, LET ME IN, and 2012's box-office surprise The Woman in Black, is reimagining another classic, this time their own 1957 film, The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas.
According to Deadline, the remake will be produced by Hammer's own Bne Holden and written by Pusher's Matthew Read and another Hammer alumn Jon Crocker (The Woman in Black: Angel of Death).
... the 1957 original which hails from Hammer’s own archives. That film starred Forrest Tucker, Peter Cushing and Maureen Connell and followed a British scientist who joins an American expedition in the Himalayas as they search for the legendary yeti. The new film will be a modern take on the yeti myth and see an expedition’s illegal ascent up a formidable, unclimbed peak which accidentally awakens an ancient creature.
Hammer makes some good, chilling, and pretty well done stuff, and this is at least more interesting than the hundreds of b-movies and SciFi Originals you find on Netflix about Bigfoot.
No word yet on if this will tie into Paramount's G.I. Joe: Retaliation sequel dealing with the Adventure Team's Yeti hunt.
