"Revenge of the Nerds" Remake Aims to Start Production
Effortlessly proving that Hollywood has officially run out of new ideas ... production is about to get underway on that "Revenge of the Nerds" remake we've been hearing about. Can a remake of "Private School" be far behind?
From Variety: "On Oct. 9, filming begins in Atlanta on "Revenge of the Nerds," a reimagining of the 1984 cult comedy being produced by McG and his Wonderland Sound & Vision partner David Manpearl.
Christopher Marquette ("Fanboys," "The Girl Next Door") and Kristin Cavallari (formerly of the MTV series "Laguna Beach") have been cast in the film. Marquette will play the leader of the nerds, and Cavallari a sorority girl alongside Katie Cassidy (the forthcoming "Dallas"). Also newly cast in the pic are Dan Byrd ("The Hills Have Eyes") and Efren Ramirez ("Napoleon Dynamite").
Kyle Newman directs the pic."
Thoughts?

on Oct 02 2006 07:37 AM If this was still the 80's, Id be all for a remake. But, considering how affraid we are today of nudity and the "R" rating, I know this is a going to be a crappy PG-13 version, I doubt we wil even here Booger declare his love for "BUSH" (not the president) (Reply to this) |

 on Oct 02 2006 03:09 PM Laguna Beach is the one show on television that actually makes me want to take my own life. The fact that one of those girls is getting a role in a movie is blowing my mind. The people in this show do NOTHING. They just exist in a constant state of high school drama. Why does this girl deserve to be in a movie when there are plenty of actresses that actually have talent?
