It seems remakes and sequels are all Hollywood can come up with these days -- and today another one has been added to the list: "Weird Science."

The 1985 John Hughes movie is getting a "21 Jump Street"-style makeover, due out next year. The flick will reportedly be "edgier" and probably carry an R-rating.

The original flick, which was later turned into a USA Network television show, starred Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith as two nerdy teens who create the woman of their dreams (Kelly LeBrock) with some computer wizardry.

Like the "21 Jump Street" remake, we can probably expect a few cameos from the original cast --]

Who'd be a good fit for the broad? Think they'll prolly go Kate Beckinsale:ohhh:

The casting on the original was too great, this seems like a terrible idea :smh:

Kate Beckinsale though :ohlawd:


you would need no-name actors in their mid to late teens for the main character and a mid to late 20's unkown to play the virtua-chick.


casting celebs for this would ruin it.

This.

Was the original cast well-known?

Anthony Michael Hall was pretty big at the time. This was after Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club. Bill Paxton was in it too but I'm not sure how known he was at the time. The others were farily unknown I think.
