Following the reinvention of everything 80�s (reforming bands, Transformers, Mr. T in a tank�), comes news that one of the great director/actor duos of the 80�s are set to reunite.

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell are to pair up for a movie called �LA Gothic�, which allegedly features vampires, priests and zombie rock stars!

In the mid-80�s, Carpenter was the man for high-concept action-horror movies, particularly if they starred Kurt Russell.

The pair made �Escape From New York�, �Big Trouble in Little China� and �The Thing� in that decade - all of which are now cult classics.

Both men�s careers died down during the late 90�s/early 00�s, but Russell in particular has enjoyed a resurgence thanks to castings in �Grindhouse� and �Poseidon�.

Now an unnamed source, working as an intern at a studio, has told aintitcool.com that the pair is set to make a new movie together:

�It's called LA Gothic and the script has various chapters but they all revolve around a Preist and his Teen-age daughter and that there are a ton of creatures in it. It's supposed to have vampires, zombies and a demon-possessed rock-star.

�He said it all takes place in LA over a couple of days and that it's vintage Carpenter tons of gore and action�.

Carpenter hasn�t made a film in over 6 years, since 2001 �Ghosts of Mars�.

The last film he and Russell made together was 1996�s ill-advised �Escape From L.A.�
