Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some more remake news... It came out a little while ago that Howard Stern had the rights to remake PORKY'S... I don't know what the hell a PORKY'S film out of time and place of the early '80s original would look like or if it'd even work. However, Stern ain't one to shy away from the vile, the perverted, the gross or the erotic, so here's hoping he makes something as offthewall weird and fun as the original! Here's today's update on the flick pulled from Variety. Enjoy!
Comweb Group topper Paul Bronfman will team up with Howard Stern on a remake of the classic teen grossout comedy "Porky's."
Pic, called "Howard Stern's Porky's," will be produced by Bronfman's Comweb Prods.
Company has been dormant for a dozen years while Bronfman's Toronto-based Comweb Group concentrated on other divisions including studios, equipment rental and production services.
Move comes after the sale last week of Bronfman's 50% interest in Toronto-based Protocol Entertainment, in which he has been a partner with co-owner, prexy and CEO Steve Levitan since the two formed the company in 1993.
The company sold the rights to "Porky's" to Stern several years ago.
Script is on its fifth or sixth draft, according to Bronfman.
