The 1977 cult classic Kingdom of the Spiders , directed by John Cardos, is getting a modern overhaul. And, of course, it will happen in 3D.

Screen Daily reports the UK-based Stealth Media Group will shepherd the project which tells of a town overrun by thousands of migrating tarantulas. Nuala Barton ( Homecoming ) and Rene Sheridan are set to produce. William Shatner starred in the original film, now available on DVD in a special edition.
