'Videodrome' is Next Remake Drone
This one’s been running around the rumor mill for a while, but now Variety confirms that Universal Pictures IS indeed remaking David Cronenberg’s Videodrome with Ethren Kruger (Revenge of the Fallen, The Ring) set to write and produce with partner Daniel Bobker. 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 remake though, will ‘modernize and toy with nano-technology, blowing up the original cult favorite into a huge sci-fi action thriller remake’. At this point, (not surprisingly) Cronenberg has not signed on in any capacity to participate in the remake. Will you let the Videodrome remake control your mind, or are you switching to another channel?
