We learn today that the 1980 horror film Mother’s Day will be getting a remake thanks to our friends at shocktillyoudrop:
Ready for this one? Brett Ratner is spearheading an effort to remake Charles Kaufman’s wonky 1980 horror film Mother’s Day. And Darren Lynn Bousman (Repo! The Genetic Opera) is circling to direct it, however, his involvement is not locked.
Word reached ShockTillYouDrop.com over the weekend. Confirmation came down today from one of the players involved in the project. The redux – about two maniacs living with their mother and the three women who tread onto this deviant family’s property – is currently in the scripting stage with P2’s Franck Khalfoun. Apparently, Ratner is a huge fan of the original film, a Troma production.
I haven’t seen Mothers Day so I cannot serve up much opinion about the remake other than I hope it turns out better than Prom Night. With all of the horror remakes of late, I am holding my breath for a Chopping Mall re-invisioning. For those of you that have not seen the film, it is about crazy mall security robots that kill a group of teens that have decided to party all night in a store owned by one of the youth’s parents.
For those of you that have seen Mother’s Day – what are your thoughts on the remake?
I’ve been waiting for this remake for a very long time, ..PLEASE dont screw it up! because the casting for the sons will be the ‘key element’ for the remake …The sons, Ike and Addley are truley “brutal” (trivia: the two sons, Ike(Fred Koffin) was the policeman in “Waynes World”,..and Addley (Billy Ray Mcquade) was the sheriff in “Joy Ride”
Not a horror fan (even though I wanna see The Descent), and why is everyone making remakes? Can they come up with new ideas?
What is with all the remakes.
