The 1978 Brian De Palma flick lives again
John Farris’ novel, The Fury, is getting a second life on celluloid.
Fox 2000 has commissioned writers Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman – based on their lauded, unproduced script Of Every Wickedness – to pen a remake of Brian De Palma’s 1978 film. The update will focus on “a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government in order to take advantage of his special gifts.”
Farris adapted his own work for De Palma’s version starring Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving, Charles Durning, John Cassavetes and Carrie Snodgress. Radar Pictures is producing the new project
