This is just sad. Maniac, aside from being really well made, is a product of it's time: the gritty NYC scenes, the general serial killer scare to come out of Son of Sam and his contemporaries, the guerrilla filmmaking... Who do you think they'll get to play Frank Zito? I think Robert Forster would be a really good choice; he's so unassuming, like Anthony Perkins in Psycho, and he's got tons of genre experience.

Part of me is excited they are gonna remake this movie.....and part of me is mad because they'll probably completely fuck it up....

Starring Ron Jeremy or bust.

Seriously though...Yeah, let's remake one of the most legitimately scary movies of all time. Great. I don't usually take issue with remakes until I know more about them, but...How can you really do anything with Maniac and still make it effective?

Uhh...I've complained about so many different horror remakes over the last few years...I'm worn out man...Hollywood needs to give the peanut gallery a damn break...

Apparently William Lustig himself wants Tom Sizemore for the lead role. I can kinda see that. For some sick reason I'd still prefer Ron Jeremy just because, but I could actually see that. The film still probably wouldn't work, but a good actor in the role could help, and I'll be damned if Sizemore COULDN'T play a troubled individual.

I haven't actually seen anything with Tom Sizemore, so I don't know how he is as an actor, but he looks the part. Maybe if they moved the action to Detroit it could work.

...How is that even possible? Just checking IMDB he's got 120 friggin' movies to his name! Oh well, I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt since it seems he'll particularly do any role you throw at him for the past decade or so...But he's definitely done characters (like his psycho cop in Natural Born Killers) that show his definite possibility to fit this role.

That's true...I've only seen a clip of Saving Private Ryan, so I don't really remember characters, and I just couldn't make it into Natural Born Killers far enough to get to his character.

Okay, I'll give you that one. Natural Born Killers is very...polarizing. I've been watching it on and off for a decade to figure out whether or not I somewhat like it or totally hate it.

Really, fuck Oliver Stone. Except for his screenplay for Scarface, but fuck everything else.

I've always found him to give off a really creepy vibe whether he intends to or not...so this is interesting casting news. Still sticking behind my Ron Jeremy pick though.
