Revenge of the Nerds reboot

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/r...rs-1234854322/

"Seth MacFarlane is reviving the age old rivalry between jocks and nerds. The comedic actor is developing a reboot of the seminal ’80s comedy “Revenge of the Nerds” at 20th Century Studios.

Keith and Kenny Lucas, identical twin brothers best known for their scene-stealing roles in “22 Jump Street,” are set to write and star in the film. They are co-writing the script with Alex Rubens (“The Twilight Zone,” “Key and Peele,” “Rick and Morty”).

MacFarlane will produce the reboot through his production company Fuzzy Door, along with Erica Huggins, who brought the project to the Lucas brothers and is spearheading development. Fuzzy Door’s Alana Kleiman will also serve as executive producer.

The upcoming version won’t be a remake of the 1984 comedy, which hasn’t aged all that well and has been criticized in recent years for depictions of rape. Instead, the contemporary reimagining will pontificate about today’s nerd culture and what even constitutes a geek in the 21st century."

Re: Revenge of the Nerds reboot

I fear it's gonna be a terrible film, because the original is one of my favorite comedy movies of all time. I do not think those guys could handle the film well.

It is a waste of the ip. It can’t be anything like the original, so why bother.

Oh yeah, cash grab nostalgia.

They tried this back in the mid aughts. Like, around 2007? Even started filming scenes as I recall. Then They shut down and never finished for reasons I forget.

Terrible film. Even through the lens of when it was made, the depiction of women and how rape is "funny" is disgusting.

Personally, I loved the original film, i think it's on my guilty pleasures list, great re-watch appeal, but not thrilled about the idea of a remake.

Agreed. Across the board.
Also, I do agree with Suspect on its depiction of women and certain scenes, but it does t detract from a good film for me.
