I'm a big fan of 
William Lustig's 1980 horror film 'Maniac,' the Mondo poster is actually hanging directly above the computer in my office as I write this, but I'm still not sure about the idea of a remake. However, the 
first batch of set photos from 
Frank Khalfoun's version, written by Alexandre Aja ('Piranha 3D'), were pretty encouraging. I'm beginning to come around on the idea that 'LOTR'sElijah Wood can take on the role of the ferocious serial killer that 
Joe Spinell made cult legend. These new images are further encouraging. The first is of a clearly post-murder Wood clutching a knife, while the second shows a mannequin with a bloody gash on its forehead. As strange as it looks, this second image is actually the most direct reference to the original film we've yet seen, so it's comforting to know that not all the canon has been discarded. The final image gives us a glimpse of co-star 
Nora Arnezeder ('Safe House'). The army of mannequins behind her, when coupled with the previous image, makes even this otherwise innocuous image creepy. Take a look at the images below and let us know what you think.


'Maniac' is due in theaters May 26th.

I did not even know they were remaking Maniac.  I did enjoy the hell out of that movie, and I am a fan of good ole Frodo...for more than just the LOTR movies, Wilfred is one of my new favorite shows, and he was a good kid actor in Radio Flyer, War, and a few others.  Anyway I will definitely have to see this, more out of curiousity to see Wood play such a radically different role, than for the fact that the movie needs remade...because frankly it doesn't.  Hell the fact that it comes out in a few weeks, means I won't even have to wait long, which is good.
