Elijah Wood Is A Maniac

Elijah Wood will star in the remake of the gore-tastic 1980 cult classic Maniac says Sky News.


Wood will play a New York City serial killer named Zito who seeks revenge for his abusive upbringing by stalking, killing and scalping various young women. He begins a relationship with a beautiful photographer named Anna, but his vile compulsions remain.

Nora Arnezeder ("Safe House") will play Anna.

Franck Khalfoun ("P2") directs from a script by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur ("Piranha 3D"). 

The original pic was released December 26th, 1980 and starred Joe Spinell as Frank Zito Caroline Munro, Abigail Clayton, Kelly Piper, Rita Montone, Tom Savini, Hyla Marrow, James Brewster. The film is directed by William Lustig calling action. Critics HATED that film. It will be interesting to see how this does since Wood is a big name and well liked by Hobbit fans everywhere--Way to stretch!
