In another brilliant move by Hollywood, a remake of "The Stepfather" is in the works.

Dylan Walsh (nip tuck), Sela Ward (the fugitive) and Penn Badgley are set to star in The Stepfather, a Screen Gems remake of the 1987 thriller, according to Variety. Adrianne Palicki is in negotiations to round out the cast. Screem Gems is aiming the film as more of a Hitchcock-style thriller than the original. The story centers on a teenage boy (Badgley) who discovers his soon-to-be stepfather isn’t all he appears. In fact, the man who fell in love with his mother (Sela Ward), might be a psycho who murdered his previous family. Palicki would play the boy’s girlfriend. “Nip/Tuck” star Walsh plays the title role originated by “Lost” star Terry O’Quinn. O’Quinn played the role in a 1989 sequel as well. The redo will be directed by Nelson McCormick (Prom Night) from a script by J.S. Cardone. Production is aimed to start in March or April.

Can we just stop now with this bullshit before another classic of horror is destroyed??
