And The Remake Of The Day Is...De Palma's THE FURY!!


Fox 2000 is drafted scriptwriters Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman to write a remake of Brian De Palma's 1978 horror/thriller THE FURY. De Palma's movie was itself based on a John Ferris novel (HERE) - Ferris scripted the film as well.

New version will center on a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government in order to take advantage of his special gifts.

Here's a publicity shot from the original film. Yon't see stuff like this anymore when movies are being promoted. Hell...you don't even see stuff like this in movies at all! This photo freaked the crap out of me when I was a kid; it's been 30 years and I've never forgotten this still. It's from STARLOG #15, August 1978.

I've never seen the original, but based on that still alone it immediately went into my Netflix!

Yeah, that's some crazy shit.

The head is freaky, and so is the wallpaper. And why are there two couches in the bedroom? It's all too weird.

I've never even heard of this. It's like Scanners but with whole bodies affected instead of heads.

Sigh. Such a nicely-appointed room, too.
