But now, at long last, there is news.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/a71-takes-soska-sisters-remake-david-cronenbergs-rabid-canada-afm-2017-1055013\">THR<\/a> reports that the Rabid remake will begin shooting in early 2018, dropping the info in a story about the\u00a0Canadian rights to the film being sold to A71 Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Per their report, this\u00a0new take on the movie &#8220;revolves around Rose, a young woman who, after an accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition, undergoes a radical untested stem-cell treatment. While turning Rose into the belle of the ball, the experimental transformation comes at a price.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve seen Cronenberg&#8217;s 1977 original starring Marilyn Chambers you&#8217;ll know that price entailed a phallic blood-sucking parasite in her armpit. We&#8217;re very interested to see what the Soskas will do with their body horror transformation.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the duo said &#8220;It&#8217;s a tremendous honor to be reimagining\u00a0<strong><em>Rabid<\/em><\/strong>. Ten years into his career, David reimagined\u00a0<em><strong>The Fly<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>and it was perhaps his most successful film. Now, 10 years into our directing careers, we take on his 1977 classic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0debuting\u00a0with the highly entertaining low-budget grindhouse movie<strong><em> Dead Hooker In A Trunk<\/em><\/strong> in 2009, the Soskas broke out with their superb horror <strong><em>American Mary<\/em><\/strong>. Since then they&#8217;ve done slasher sequels with <strong><em>See No Evil 2<\/em><\/strong>, anthology horror with <strong><em>ABCs Of Death 2<\/em><\/strong>, and action with <strong><em>Vendetta<\/em><\/strong>, not to mention their gameshow <strong><em>Hellevator<\/em><\/strong>. Here&#8217;s hoping the Rabid remake can get under our skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep up with the latest horror news with the new issue of SciFiNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The makers of American Mary will be getting rolling on their Rabid remake next year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":100018,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[2615,3],"tags":[797,5011,3197],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/rabid.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100017"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100017\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
