Weirder Science?

Where Art Thou Kelly Ke Brock?

Another day, Another remake.

Remember how Robert Downey Jr mentioned that he thought remaking “Weird Science” – a film he did before he discovered the magic of mushrooms – would be a good idea?

They have listened. Thanks Rob.

Word is, Universal have tapped up-and-coming writer Johnny Rosenthal to pen the stencil for a redo of the John Hughes classic. No doubt it’ll follow the same storyline – two nerds create the ultimate woman on their computer, she comes to life, they envision a sandwich.

The original film, released in 1985, starred Ilan-Michael Smith, Anthony Michael-Hall and the abovementioned, Robert Downey Jr. The perfect female? Well, back then, she wore the body of Kelly Le Brock.

So who would we get now? If I were a casting director, I’d go Diane Lane… I’d love it if she spat out of my motherboard. Probably too old though, for teen-film standards – I bet they’ll snag someone along the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar or Jennifer Love Hewitt to play the object of the boys affections.

Scott Bernstein, one of the producers of another upcoming remake “The Birds”, is also on board.

What do I think about this? Well, you probably know what I think about this… but all I can think is ‘Thank god it’s not The Breakfast Club that’s being remade’.
