Body Snatchers (1993, dir. Abel Ferrara) Classroom Scene

Cast: Gabrielle Anwar, Terry Kinney, Meg Tilly, Billy Wirth, Reilly Murphy and Forest Whitaker.

From the 1950’s to the 2000’s, Hollywood has been making a new movie, roughly every two decades, based on the 1954 novel ‘The Body Snatchers’ by Jack Finney.

• Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
• Body Snatchers (1993)
• The Invasion (2007)

The last remake, the one starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, was a critical (RT 20%) and a box office bomb ($40 million).

Since then, a fifth remake at Warner Bros. has been stuck in development hell for years.
