There's only one thing Hollywood loves than a movie based on a toy: remakes. Dozens of science-fiction classics are slated for do-overs. But instead of remaking films that were fine the first time, here are 20 books Hollywood should film. More »

Years after seeing David Cronenberg's psychotic movie The Brood, I could not get this scene out of my head. Nola has been undergoing experimental "psychoplasmics" therapy with Dr. Raglan (Oliver Reed!), trying to deal with rage over her divorce from doughboy Frank. Using psychoplasmics, she winds up literally giving birth to her rage in the form humanoid creatures who kill people she doesn't like. In this scene, Frank has come to help their real daughter escape from mommy and her scary, fucked up rage babies. I love Samantha Eggar as Nola: She isn't just a horror show chomping on baby goo; she really gives you the sense that she's a messed up lady locked into a surreal custody battle with the bumbling but well-meaning Frank.

Poor David Cronenberg, the artsy B-movie director who brought you Videodrome, Scanners, and A History of Violence. The guy just wants to keep making subversive indie actioners like his recent Eastern Promises, but the world loves him for his early horror work and just wants to keep remaking it into the ground. He told MTV recently that he never watches remakes of his movies, and doesn't plan to see the reboot of head-esploding psychic gorefest Scanners, coming out in 2008. So that got us wondering — what Cronenberg remake would get Cronenberg into theaters? It would have to be The Brood, one of his lesser-known works about a mad psychologist and a bunch of angry killer babies with no anuses. Our pick for director and revamps after the jump. More »
