  • Eli Roth Reinvents "The Bad Seed"
    By Garth FranklinTuesday, August 17th 2004 11:34PM
    If there's one man who knows more about what makes for a good quality vintage of 'seed' than me or Justin Timberlake, it's "Cabin Fever" director Eli Roth it seems. The man knows how to get gory squishy dark fun out of the simplest things like camping, masturbation, etc. Now he turns his sights towards that thing which freaks me and many other people out - yes I'm talking about little children.

    Variety reports that Roth (pictured left next to a rather 'Rotten' individual) has sown a deal with Warner Bros. to remake the horror pic "The Bad Seed" which just got a recent release on DVD. Roth is set to direct and Luke Janklow will produce with Strike Entertainment, whose partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham scored a hit remake with "Dawn of the Dead.

    The original, about an 8-year-old girl who seems all sugar and spice until she begins killing people, was one of the first to apply Freudian psychology to the psyche of a kid killer. Roth has gorier plans for the remake:

    "The original was a great psychological thriller, and we are going to bastardize and exploit it, ramping up the body counts and killings. This is going to be scary, bloody fun, and we're going to create the next horror icon, a la Freddy, Jason and Chucky. She's this cunning, adorable kid who loves to kill, but also loves 'N Sync."

    Thanks to 'Guzzler'
