Maniac Remake 2012
 

this is absolutely true and it's effing absured. Elijah Wood has been cast as Frank in the remake of this nasty. Elijah Wood, WTF!

Elijah Wood is a Serial Killer in Maniac Remake | WorstPreviews.com

Heard about this yesterday. Had to make sure it wasn't April 1st!

I think a part of me just died inside.

Why? Who? What?... I can't imagine how anyone in charge of anything could think this is a good idea, you can hear the execs from here "Okay, but no scalping, no gratuitous sleaze and nothing to upset the MPAA, maybe a PG13":lol::lol: Only good that may come out of it would be Lustig getting a few quid.

I'm probably the only person in the world that quite likes this news! It could prove to be a very interesting and different take on the original rather than a copy-cat and (even more) pointless remake of Maniac. Elijah is a great actor and his role as the killer in Sin City was brilliant. I imagine it could be like Maniac but with a Norman Bates-like character.

I was just going to say he's great in Sin City so, while I'm not sure this remake will still work, I can imagine him doing a great job in the role

with this news and the equally baffling thing i hear about matt damon playing liberace, its silly season i see....lawdy!!

Proof if any where needed the hollywood execs are simply interested in these films noteriety. I bet this is NOTHING like the origional.

Which will be a good thing imo.

Maniac's not exactly a good film, but surely after the flops of Fright Night, Straw Dogs and The Thing, studios would leave remakes alone.
