Full Trailer For ‘Maniac’ Remake

26 May 2012 1:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Late last week we were treated to the first images of Franck Khalfoun’s remake of the graphic 1980 psycho-thriller Maniac. The original film, directed by William Lustig and starring the late Rocky and The Godfather actor Joe Spinell, told the disturbing tale of Frank, a man whose abuse as a child from his domineering mother, led to psychopathic behaviour on the dark, sleazy streets of New York. The notorious realistic gore effects came from make-up legend Tom Savini.

Here we have the chilling teaser trailer from the updated version, written and produced by Piranha 3D and The Hills Have Eyes remake director Alexandre Aja along with filmmaking partner Gregory Lavesseur. Elijah Wood takes the over lead role of Frank, starring alongside America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, Morgane Slemp and Liane Balaban, likely playing the victims of his obsessive killing spree.

We’re also expecting a remake of another William Lustig exploitation horror, »

Intense Teaser Trailer for Elijah Wood’s Maniac Remake

17 May 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

An incomplete French teaser trailer, unfortunately. But what you do get (around 90 seconds) is pretty intense, it is in English, and more importantly, Elijah Wood is pretty wicked. Really, who knew Frodo Baggins could be so scary? The film is currently selling over at Cannes, so who knows when we’ll get the full trailer/teaser, but when we do get it we will update this post. Until then, this will just have to do. Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill. Also starring America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, »

Disturbing Nsfw Trailer for Elijah Wood’s Maniac Remake

16 May 2012 7:36 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

As if these images from Elijah Wood's remake of the 1980 slasher flick, Maniac, weren't disturbing enough, here's a new trailer to haunt your dreams.  This Nsfw first look at the Franck Khalfoun-directed thriller features nudity, gruesome violence and the scalping of not just the dime-store mannequins, but real live women as well.  The original, directed by William Lustig, starred Joe Spinell as Frank, a psychopath with a history of childhood abuse who takes women's scalps as trophies.  Wood is doing his best to out-creep Spinell in this trailer and I dare say that he has succeeded.  Maniac also stars America Olivo and Nora Arnezeder.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Ever since Wood distanced himself from his character, Frodo in The Lord of the Rings series by playing Kevin, the cannibalistic serial killer in Sin City, I've been looking forward to his return to the macabre. »

Anyone old enough to remember or has seen Willam Lustig’s ace-but-infamous 1980 exploitation horror Maniac, will be interested to see just how a new remake lives up to the original. Elijah Wood takes over the role of Frank, originally played by the late, great Joe Spinell, in which we followed a rather troubled psychotic man on an orgy of gruesome violence – and an obsession will a stunning female photographer. The film featured gag-inducing gore effects from make-up master Tom Savini.

Here we have the first images from the film that has P2 director Franck Khalfoun at the helm. Maniac will also feature America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, Sal Landi and Megan Duffy. The film is written and produced by Piranha 3D and The Hills Of Eyes’ Alexandra Aja and Gregory Lavasseur.
