David Cronenberg’s Videodrome Being Remade

26 April 2009 9:35 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

Universal Pictures is developing a remake of Videodrome, the 1983 cult-thriller written and directed by David Cronenberg. The studio has signed Ehren Kruger to write the script and produce. The original Videodrome 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 film will modernize the concept, infuse it with the possibilities of nano-technology and blow it up into a large-scale sci-fi action thriller. Cronenberg, who is currently prepping The Matarese Circle as a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington, has no role in the remake. Kruger’s previous writing credits include Reindeer Games, The Ring and its sequel, The Skeleton Key, The Brothers Grimm and the upcoming big budget sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. You can watch the trailer for the original film below.
