Universal Pictures will remake the 1983 David Cronenberg-directed
Videodrome, with
Ehren Kruger set to write the script and produce with partner
Daniel Bobker.
According to Variety, the producers tracked down the rights to Canadian distribution vet Rene Malo, who will be exec producer. Universal distributed the original and had first refusal on a remake, and the studio snapped up the opportunity.
The original starred James Woods as the head of Civic TV Channel 83, who makes his station relevant by programming "Videodrome," a series that depicts torture and murder that transfixes viewers.
The new picture will modernize the concept with the possibilities of nano-technology and blow it up into a large-scale sci-fi action thriller. Cronenberg has no role in the film as yet.
We're not crazy about this idea. The original is classic horror noir. If a movie has been made into a DVD by Criterion, then you should probably leave it alone.
