Alfred Hitchcock's classic Strangers On A Train is to be remade into a thriller for teenagers. Titled Teens On A Train, the film will take Patricia Highsmith's novel as its starting point, but will be tweaked significantly with Deadline.com reporting that in the new version, "boy meets girl, girl turns out to be raving psychopath".
The film is a joint venture by Slingshot Productions and BBC Films and is the result of a teenage Hitchcock screenwriting competition organised by Slingshot three years ago.
