Hmmm... interesting he's chosen a slasher style film to write as a remake. I've never seen the original (despite my enjoyment of Bruce Campbell), I wish them luck.

I hope Ed writes more scripts and adapts Velvet. (That comic is made for live action adaptation. Too bad Edwige Fenech is about 20 years too mature to play Velvet now. She'd be perfect.)

Can't wait for it. The Maniac Cop series is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Now if only some of the music from this series could be remade by modern artists...

I'm still trying to convince myself this isn't some sort of a joke.
