Apparently it’s not “Revenge of the Nerds III : The Next Generation”.
Sadly.
The Francmeister (expecting a call from his publicist any moment now) is joining hands with Lifetime and Sony Pictures Television on a redo of classic TV movie, ”Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?” In honor of its 20th anniversary. The retelling of the cult classic from Sony Pictures Television will pay homage to the original film that continues to resonate in pop culture today. The film comes on the heels of Lifetime’s successful and most buzzed about movie event of 2015, ”A Deadly Adoption”, starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Rabbit Bandini Productions, ”Mother, May, I Sleep with Danger?” will air on Lifetime in 2016. With a story by Franco, the script is written by Amber Coney and will be directed by Melanie Aitkenhead. Franco will executive produce with Vince Jolivette, Diane Sokolow and Rachel Verno.
So, sounds like it’s going to be one of those ‘take the piss’ style Lifetime parodies – much like the recent Ferrell/Wiig one.
