A mind is a terrible thing to explode

From Darkhorizons, "Darren Lynn Bousman, the director of both "Saw" sequels, just closed a deal to remake David Cronenberg's famed 1981 horror pic "Scanners".The story revolves around a scientist who infiltrates an underground movement of "scanners," whose telepathic abilities make them lethal weapons - including the ability to explode heads. David Goyer will pen the script which will include the paranoia and genetic engineering themes prevalent in the original that are more credible these days.An early 2008 production start is scheduled for release later that year."

That could be fun. I found Scanners disappointing when I finally saw it, years after being totally freaked out by the trailer I saw in front of Stir Crazy. It's another Cronenberg movie that seems like it's filmed only in bland, out-of-the-way places, which I collectively refer to as "Canada."
