Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

Check out IMDb guys, Chris may have landed a role in Kyle Newman's remake of Revenge Of The Nerds.  Attached means it's not quite a done deal.  But it would be very cool since Kyle, you will remember, is our beloved director of Fanboys.  Obviously, he enjoyed working with Chris and has now joined the ranks of people who repeatedly employ our man!

Re: Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

HUH? Since when is that there? I was on his imdb page this morning and there was no new movie listed.
I have a question: Is this some persiflage of that Star Wars movie "Revenge of the Sith"?

Re: Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

TeeJay asked me to post this: http://www.hollywood.com/movies/detail/id/3463810

There's a little more detail.  Basically, it's a movie about a bunch of college nerds who get sick of being put-upon by the jocks and plot revenge.  The original was a huge hit and is considered a classic.  I'm not into remakes, as we all know by now.  So Chris has to possibly appear in two of them?  This and My Tutor?  That's just great.  Not.  But whatever.  If Chris is in it, I'll see it.

And contrary to what TeeJay just said to me in email, this movie is NOT an indie.  It's a Fox movie and it will be marketed as a big studio teen summer comedy, I'm sure.  I've already read a few articles about it on the Internet.  But since i didn't know Chris was involved, I didn't pay too much attention to them.  If he wasn't in it, I totally wouldn't care about it.  I'll see if I can find some of those articles and post them here when I get a chance.  I know that one of them had a brief interview with Kyle about what he wanted to do with the remake.

One thing I can't figure out:  There was no character named Max in the original.  At least that wasn't the name of any of the main characters.  So I don't know if Chris is being offered the Anthony Edwards role or the Bobby Carradine role, but it had better be one of the two because they're the leads.

'Nerd' alert: Newman on Fox remake

Kyle Newman has signed on to direct Fox Atomic's "Revenge of the Nerds." McG and David Manpearl are producing the remake of the seminal teen comedy from 1984. The film reteams Newman with scribe Adam F. Goldberg, who is rewriting the latest "Nerds" incarnation. The pair worked together on Newman's upcoming "Fanboys," which will be distributed by the Weinstein Co. (Tatiana Siegel)

Ah, so it's not going to be the Star Wars persiflage. Thank God. LOL
I'm not much into remakes either, but if Chris is in it, I'll watch it. I don't know the original movie, so it's going to be classic for me.

And yeah, that Max thing sounded weird to me, too. I checked the imdb page of the original for the character names and I was like "Wow, it's Doc Green from ER!" LOL

As for who will be in the movie, Newman says he'd like to cast some of the actors from his new movie, "Fanboys", as well as some "totally new faces".

And we know who he had in mind. big_smile

Re: Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

McG Herds 'Nerds' Director
Kyle Newman will helm '80s remake
May 1, 2006


McGProducers McG and David Manpearl have found their man to direct the entirely unnecessary upcoming remake of "Revenge of the Nerds."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Fox Atomic production will be helmed by Kyle Newman (no relation to Mad spokesman Alfred E.). The project will now reteam Newman with screenwriter Adam F. Goldberg, who worked together on the upcoming geekfest "Fanboys."

Fox Atomic is, as you might guess, the new young-adult genre division over at Fox Filmed Entertainment. "Nerd," likely to go into production this summer, would be the first Atomic production to make it into theaters.

Released in 1984, the original "Revenge of the Nerds" was released in 1984. A surprise hit, the comedy made more than $40 million and was followed by several sequels. Not surprisingly, the plot involved a group of, um, nerds who got, well, revenge on the jocks and frat boys who tormented them.

The remake has a bit of extra star power behind the camera in the form of co-producers Bret Harrison ("The Loop") and Adam Brody ("The O.C.).

Other credits for Newman include the telefilm "The Hollow."

Re: Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

From CHUD -

It's been recently reported that McG will be producing a remake of Revenge of the Nerds, and that he wants the original nerds to make cameos. Today I happened to have a chance to speak with Robert Carradine, Louis Skolnick from the original films, and I asked him if he would be coming in for a cameo. He gave me this scoop: it turns out he wants a bigger part - he wants to direct it.

Says Carradine: "I'm in the DGA, and I've been in the business for thirty odd years, and if anybody knows the story of Revenge of the Nerds, it's me. From a marketing standpoint it makes sense, and you know studios hire all kinds of different levels of directors to work on pictures. I've worked with really good directors on studio pictures, and I've worked with really bad directors on studio pictures. I like to think I'm a little better than the worst guy and try to be as good as the best guy. From a marketing perspective it makes sense, and preliminary talks are underway right now."

ALL OF THAT IS FROM JUST THE FIRST OF MANY PAGES THAT COME UP WHEN YOU GOOGLE:
Revenge Of The Nerds remake Kyle Newman

And that's all I have time for right now.

Yeah, and do we need to wonder WHY it was Chris he picked out of the three other guys? No, because Chris is awesome and talented and a wonderful actor! big_smile

Okay, not an indie then. Even better. So this one might have a remote chance to cross the Atlantic and be shown without dubbing in German theaters around here some place. Cool! Might be my first big screen Chris movie, if none of the others he's got lined up actually make it.

And there's still no news about this mysterious My Tutor thing, is there? If he's not working on that already, it might actually be that he got a bit of a late summer vacation, our busy boy. Unless shooting all the other stuff took longer and he's still doing that right now. I really hope he'll get some R&R before the next project.

And you know what, ladies?? I'M ON VACATION!!!! Just got home and now I have three great weeks off. I was a little disappointed to come home and find that this insurance company wrote to me and said I wasn't accepted for the extra medical insurance that I applied for, but I'm gonna try another after my vacation. If no one will take me, then I'm just not gonna do that. Which will suck, but then at least I tried. Why did they refuse me? Probably because of my lower back problems. They said my individual risk was too high. Yeah, dudes, whatever...

And I wish I had the new ER and Grey's episodes already!!! Working on them as we speak.

Re: Kyle Newman's Revenge of the Nerds (Remake) - CANCELED

Hold on there, TeeJay, we don't know that some of the other Fanboys aren't also going to be cast.  So far, they've only Chris and the girl, what's her name?  More will follow.  It'll be a fairly large cast.  And any of the other guys would be great in these roles.  If there was gonna be a Booger, Dan folger would be perfect.

I wish I could. Maybe they'll come back here and film some scenes! big_smile

Revenge of the Nerds wasn't a cinematic triumph in any shape or form, but it did have some funny moments, great one-liners, and some memorable characters. Who could forget Booger,Ogre, Poindexter, and Lamar....And Robert Carradine's laugh was awesome!! Ahh the memories....:P

Marquette & Byrd Are "Nerds"
Posted:   Thursday September 28th 2006 5:23pm
Source:   The IESB
Author:   Garth Franklin

The IESB reports that Chris Marquette ("Fanboys", "The Girl Next Door") and Dan Byrd ("The Hills Have Eyes", "A Cinderella Story") have locked in the lead roles in Kyle Newman's upcoming film remake of "Revenge of the Nerds".

Marquette will play the lead nerd role of Max Foster. Byrd will portray the second male lead, Owen DiMarco, the "horn dog" best friend, whose college major is women's studies.

Efren Ramirez and Katie Cassidy have already been cast as Santiago the foreign exchange student from Spain and Suzy Stone, the campus queen and head of the Pi Delta Pi sorority respectively.

Shooting begins in Atlanta the second week of October.

Wait, his best friend is going to be a "horn dog"? Ha ha, how funny. So, this time it's not him. Good. I mean, I love watching GND and I "love" watching Just Friends, but I don't want him to be known as just the guy who plays the horn dogs.

The latest is that it MAY be starting on Monday, 10/9 somewhere on the Agnes Scott College and/or Emory University campuses in Decatur, just outside Atlanta.  TeeJay and I are going down there to see what we can see. We'll report whatever happens.  Wish us luck!
