Rogue Pictures has begun plans for a feature film remake of "Faces of Death", the series of cult gory snuff videos that were big hits in the 1970s and '80s reports the trades.
The films explicitly depicted the gruesome and varied ways people and animals can die via explicit footage that many viewers believed to be real, including a famous scene in which live monkey brains were served to diners at a restaurant.
The films were banned in several countries and became something of an urban legend until it was revealed the deaths were most, if not all faked. Six films in all were produced.
The remake would not be a faux documentary, rather a straightforward film. J.T. Petty is attached to direct.
