Wes Craven's 'Deadly Friend' Getting 3-D Remake

Is the robot girl is in desperate need of an upgrade? Our Aussie pals over at Moviehole.net are reporting that Warner Bros. is developing a 3-D remake of Wes Craven's 1986 chiller Deadly Friend. " 'Deadly Friend' is in the works - writers are toying with the concept now, producers are raking their brains trying to think who'd be an ideal proxy for Kristy Swanson (Hmmm... pretty robot girl... Kristen Stewart!?) and Warner Bros are likely hoping their "Re-Animator"-esque horror redo lends itself to a ****** 3D overlay." The original film is the tale about a lonely teenage genius whose overwhelming love for a young girl compels him to use all of his scientific knowledge to keep her with him.

So come on, let's hear it, about how you can't touch a classic?

At this point the Whole Wes Craven Catalog will be remade. Cause there has been talk of a Shocker and People Under The Stairs remake for a while. I'll say it be interesting to see how a Shocker Modern Day Remake would be.

I will truly laugh if people out there actually do complain and call it a classic. I consider myself a huge horror fan but i've never heard of that film.

Shocker would be a film of his that I think could easily be done better in a remake. I remember watching it when I was real young and even found it cheesy back then.

Never heard of this one. Wouldn't be surprised if Universal and all there money troubles starts really pushing on that Shocker remake now.

You know how people are. Anything from the 80's is a classic, once a potential remake is announced.


I remember seeing this as a kid and it really freaking me the f out! Its about a boy and his neighbor, who is this girl and her dad abuses her. And one day he accidentally kills her. and with the kid being a robot whiz, takes a chip from a robot of his and puts like a chip or something into her brain and brings her back to life. But she is very protective of him and starts killing people.

Here is the official details of the original film.

Paul Conway is the new kid in town, who has his own invention, a robot named BeeBee. Paul becomes friends with Samantha, the girl next door, but his efforts to see her are frequently thwarted by her abusive and jealous father Harry. On Halloween, Paul plays a prank on his sinister neighbor, Elvira a mean evil old woman who lives across the street from him. However in a fury, Elvira destroys Paul's robot BeeBee. Several weeks later, Samantha is murdered by her father. In a desperate attempt to save his new love, Paul implants BeeBee's microchips into Samantha's corpse and successfully brings her to life, but he doesn't realize that his friend has become an unstoppable monster bent only on murder and destruction.

and as for Shocker, I think it was meant to come off Cheesy.

Oh, Deadly Friend is certainly no "classic"! This is the first I'm even hearing that he had any involvement in the original!

Well, you never know on the internet. Like I said it never becomes a "classic" until it gets remake and people go on their ***** fits.

And this is prolly one of the lesser known Wes craven films.

You know what? I'm not even annoyed that movies are getting remade anymore. I'm more annoyed about how everything has to be 3D...

Shocker, I think it was meant to come off Cheesy.

This movie sounds pretty interesting as far as horror films can go.

Yeah, Shocker most likely was meant to be cheesy but I wouldn't mind a more serious take on it.

I'm just beyond that. I'm not gonna let it bother me anymore. Atleast until they stop putting out 2d versions of 3d films.

It has some interesting kills I'll say that.

and yeah, I think that's the only real way it could be done. Since now everything else is raw and grittier. And I'll say Shocker is one of my fave WC films. I got a double pack of this and PUTS for like 10 bucks.

Shocker was Wes Craven's attempt to create another popular horror icon with Horace Pinker, unfortunately that didn't work out.

As far as this movie goes, I remember seeing one scene from the original. The girl/robot (played by Kristy Swanson) throws a basketball at this old woman's (played by Anne Ramsey from The Goonies) head and her head explodes. And the body still moves, it does a plevic thrust and falls to the floor.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, critics panned Shocker.


And yeah, that seems to be the most popular scene from the movie.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hmm, don't think I've seen the original surprisingly.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Wes Craven and John Carpenter need to team up and kill everyone in Hollywood who has remade one of their films save whoever made the first Hills Have Eyes remake.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Hmm, don't think I've seen the original surprisingly.

Thats cause it really is one of his lesser known films.
