Ben Yonko's 2nd film, and is the 2nd collaboration with, G.M. Whiting.
This film was not a remake of the original, but G.M.'s version of how he thinks it should have been.
Ben Yonko stated in an interview with G.M. Whiting, that he doesn't support Panic Room, and doesn't really care for or support any student-directed films or films that have a little to no budget ratio. He also stated that he really didn't care for or even like Panic Room, when it came out, and denies ever liking it, when he went to the screening for the film.
G.M. Whiting and Ben Yonko attempted to do a film called, Inside the Gates together, with Yonko as a main actor, and G.M. as the director, but it was cancelled a few weeks into shooting and production. G.M. has offered roles to Ben Yonko since then, but Yonko refuses and declines all offers.
