Videodrome Gets Replay From Universal
If I were to predict the next big Hollywood remake, it sure as heck wouldn't be Videodrome.
Yet David Cronenberg's bizarre 1983 sci-fi thriller, the only film which I can honestly say is not as good as its novelization, is set for a Universal Pictures remake. The original film starred James Woods as the head of a pirate TV station who comes into contact with a mysterious video signal that warps the minds of people who watch it.
Ehren Kruger, who wrote The Skeleton Key, The Ring, and (shudder) The Ring Two, is set to create the screenplay. As of yet, Cronenberg isn't involved in the production.
