Another day, another remake. Miramax has decided to reboot, of all things, “The Faculty,” the mixed-reviewed 1998 sci-fi thriller directed by Robert Rodriguez (via Variety).
Drew Hancock, whose debut feature, “Companion,” is currently earning strong reviews, has been tasked to pen the ‘Faculty’ screenplay. BoulderLight, the production company behind Zach Cregger’s “Barbarian” and “Weapons,” is producing the reboot.
In “The Faculty,” a group of high school students discover that their teachers have been taken over by alien parasites. They must work together to stop the invasion before the entire school is consumed. The film starred Elijah Wood, Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, Josh Hartnett, and Salma Hayek.
