The Soska Sisters are eyeing up Dead Ringers for a reboot!!
Jen and Sylvia Soska’s Rabid will be coming soon and it’s the first remake of a David Cronenberg movie.
The Soska’s are eyeing up Dead Ringers and had this to say about it: “We’re after the rights to Dead Ringers. We have a perfect pitch for it. Had one for years. [It] includes a gender swap for the main twin doctors. We pitched it to our new producers and decided we had to get the rights to do it. A film or perhaps a TV series.”
Dead Ringers Synopsis:
Elliot (Jeremy Irons), a successful gynecologist, works at the same practice as his identical twin, Beverly (also Irons). Elliot is attracted to many of his patients and has affairs with them. When he inevitably loses interest, he will give the woman over to Beverly, the meeker of the two, without the woman knowing the difference. Beverly falls hard for one of the patients, Claire (Geneviève Bujold), but when she inadvertently deceives him, he slips into a state of madness.
