ELIJAH WOOD IS THE PICTURE OF A MANIAC

I kinda love Woods post-LOTR career choices. The dudes nothing if not interesting - and seemingly pretty normal and likeable. This is one I'll be anticipating.

Same here.  I'm really looking forward to how this one turns out.  2013 can't get here fast enough!

I have no idea why it would take them until 2013 to put this out. This should be shot on a weekend, ANNOUNCED on a Monday, and released two months later.

Gabe T's post really drives home the point that there really is something to be said about the mainstreaming of exploitation fodder like Maniac. This remake will not be a limited engagement or play for a year in shithouse theaters w/ cum-crusted seats in the middle of Buttfuck, Nowhere, instead, it's going to have relatively significant marketing muscle and aim. I think maybe that's part of what bothers me so much about this (I feel) boring new slate of absurdly violent, "ironically" misogynistic, and daringly unoriginal films. I guess I just have it in my head that this kind of material loses its grimy, idiosyncratic soul when pushed through the grossly nostalgic new school genre model.

Agreed, but unfortunately things don't tend to work that way anymore.  It's aiming for an early 2013 release, which means it will probably end up hitting somewhere around my birthday (late January).
