Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller's horror remake company Platinum Dunes is bringing its brand of terror to Paramount Pictures, with whom Bay has made his two Transformers films (and will do his next one, set for July 1, 2011). The trio have just signed a first-look deal with the studio. Find out what they'll be working on after the jump. 

According to Variety, Platinum Dunes "will get underway with “The Butcherhouse Chronicles,” a thriller they actually set at the studio last year, with Stephen Susco (“The Grudge”) scripting a premise the producers call “The Breakfast Club in a haunted house.” Platinum Dunes has also boarded the Paramount project  “Property of the State,” a Howard Franklin-scripted thriller about a young white collar criminal whose attempt to straighten out his life is imperiled by an obsessive and menacing parole officer."

Meanwhile, Platinum Dunes' remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street is due out on April 30, next year, from Warner Brothers.
