Fox 2000 has announced plans to remake Brian De Palma’s 1978 supernatural horror film “The Fury.”
The studio has hired Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman to pen an updated reimagining of the original screenplay.
Variety reports Ted Field is producing the remake through his Radar Pictures with Mike Weber executive producing.
The new version of the story will follow a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government – which wants to use his special gifts.
The original film featured Kirk Douglas and John Cassavetes and released by 20th Century Fox. The film was based on the 1976 novel by John Farris.
McGreevy and Shipman wrote the spec “Of Every Wickedness” – which chronicles America’s first known serial killer. The spec hit the industry’s Black List of the hottest unproduced spec scripts and made the new writing duo an in-demand property in Hollywood.
