LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Melissa George, who is best known for causing lots of grief as a double agent in ABC’s "Alias," will be on the receiving end this time. The 27-year-old Aussie is in talks to star alongside Ryan Reynolds in the remake of "The Amityville Horror," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on the book by Jay Anson, the 1979 film version starred James Brolin and Margot Kidder as newlyweds who move their family into what they believe is a dream house, but turns out to be haunted due to a years-old murder. George and Reynolds will play the young couple in the remake.
