Dunkin’ Donuts fans are in mourning.
When news broke that the company would be discontinuing the Coffee Coolatta this summer, loyal drinkers did not take it well—despite the beverage being replaced with something shockingly similar.
“Our Coffee Coolatta isn’t good enough,” Chris Fuqua, Dunkin’s senior vice president of brand marketing, told Business Insider on Tuesday. “Coolattas are a platform we’ve had for years,” added the director of culinary innovation, Paul Racicot. “But, we believe it’s time we… contemporize our frozen platform.”
Its replacement, the Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee, is inspired by their more classic iced coffees...

RKO Pictures is bringing new life to the Boris Karloff cult film Isle of the Dead, hiring writers Brian Horiuchi and Matt Lazarus to adapt a remake.
In the 1945 film directed by Val Lewton, Karloff played a Greek military commander on an island where a plague breaks out. He orders the isle quarantined and as residents fall ill and die, some begin to suspect that a vampire-demon might be the cause of the deaths.
RKO plans to set the remake against the backdrop of a viral outbreak in Afghanistan.
"Val Lewton made his name by taking the horror genre to a new place," said RKO chairman and CEO Ted Hartley, who will produce. "Brian and Matt have the same kind of genre-bending sensibilities that will give this classic tale the perfect blend of contemporary themes and timeless scares."
No director has been set.
RKO Pictures vp Kevin Cornish is overseeing.
RKO Pictures at one point was among the greatest of the legendary Hollywood studios.
