David Cronenberg’s traditional 1981 horror movie Scanners is being tailored right into a sequence due to HBO Max. The challenge additionally has an attention-grabbing inventive crew that consists of William Bridges, who wrote the “USS Callister” episode of Black Mirror, and he will even act as showrunner. On prime of that, Yann Demange, who helmed the pilot for HBO’s Lovecraft Nation is directing.
Scanners was one hell of a crazy-ass film! I used to be a teen once I first noticed it, and it blew my thoughts. The movie informed of a small group of individuals with a variety of psychic, telepathic and telekinetic powers. One faction of scanners, as these individuals have been labeled, was led by a power-mad man named Revok, who goals to take over the world, whereas a personal safety agency recruits its personal scanners to cease him for its personal, probably shady, causes.
The sequence is being described as “a visceral thriller set within the mind-bending world of Cronenberg’s movie. It’s going to give attention to two ladies dwelling on the fringes of recent society who’re pursued by relentless brokers with unimaginable powers and thus should study to work collectively to topple an enormous conspiracy decided to convey them to heel.”
Don’t fear, Cronenberg is concerned and can function an govt producer on the sequence. I actually do hope that this sequence will be capable of seize the insane insanity of the unique movie. What are your ideas on Scanners getting a sequence reboot?
