This Cult Alien Invasion Movie Is Finally Getting the 4K Treatment   :flag:  :cool:  :love:

https://forumupload.ru/uploads/0000/0e/cb/129/t287022.jpg

In the wake of Wes Craven's Scream there were a ton of teen-centric slashers that were pumped out in the late 90s and early 2000s. At the time, many of them were prematurely deemed as cash grabs. However, in the decades since, many of these Scream-esc horror films have gotten their own rabid cult following. This would include Robert Rodriguez’s alien invasion nightmare The Faculty. The 1998 film has been rumored to be coming to 4K since the beginning of the year. However, now Scream Factory has made it official. The Faculty will be scaring horror fans on 4K this winter.

The horror thriller will be coming to the format via a 4K/Blu-ray combo pack on December 17, 2024. The release will include a 4K restoration of the original camera negative approved by Rodriguez. It will also come with a pair of new special features, “The Thing From Another Classroom”, which is an interview with horror legend and special effects makeup artist Greg Nicotero, alongside “Too Cool For School”, an interview with production designer Cary White. The slipcover for the Collector’s Edition has the classic artwork for The Faculty that perfectly shows off the film’s impressive cast. While they were all relatively unknown at the time, The Faculty’s ensemble is now star-studded. Featuring the likes of Josh Hartnett (Halloween H20), Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious), Elijah Woods (Lord of the Rings), Usher, Famke Janssen (X-Men), Salma Hayek (From Dusk Till Dawn), Robert Patrick (T2: Judgment Day), Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore) and John Stewart (The Daily Show), you'd be hard-pressed to find a horror film today with a more stacked cast. If you pre-order the film through Scream Factory’s website, you’ll receive a free poster featuring the same theatrical artwork as well.

What's ‘The Faculty’ About?

The Faculty is a classic high school coming-of-age story that just so happens to be interrupted by an alien invasion. When an alien parasite infects the teachers of a local high school, the students must put aside their hormonal differences to band together to stop this deadly infection from spreading. It's like if Scream and Invasion of the Body Snatchers had a demented baby with Goosebumps. While it's not as fondly remembered as other “Scream clones” like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend, its twists and turns are wildly entertaining, to say the least. Like Scream, its blend of comedy and horror is to die for, while its alien premise gives it a whole different kind of identity. Something that leaves you equally anxious and paranoid.

Where's ‘The Faculty’ Streaming?

The Faculty is currently streaming on Paramount+. However, if you want to own the physical 4K edition, you can pre-order it now on Scream Factory’s website for $35.99 USD. The trailer can be viewed below.

Josh Hartnett's '90s Horror Classic The Faculty Is Getting Remade, And I Hope I'm Wrong About How They're Updating The Story

Nick Venable
Thu, January 30, 2025

With one of the most ‘90s-specific ensemble casts imaginable, Robert Rodriguez’s cult hit The Faculty is an era-specific classic sci-fi horror movie that works despite not being so scary. As such, this highly enjoyable high school take on pod-people creatures should ideally exist in solitude without any sequels or further lore-building efforts. So of course, 27 years later, a Hollywood remake is set to join the growing list of upcoming horror movies.

Let's take a quick dive into the details we know so far about The Faculty's remake before addressing my biggest worry about this arguably unnecessary remake.
What We Know About The Faculty Remake So Far

    Director: TBA

    Screenwriter: Drew Hancock (Companion)

    Cast: TBA

    Studio: Miramax

    Production Company: BoulderLight (Barbarian, Weapons)

    Producer: Robert Rodriguez

Obviously we're still in the early days, but the biggest creative force going into the new Faculty project is screenwriter Drew Hancock, who is currently a hot commodity for genre fans as the writer and director of the buzzy new horror Companion, starring Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher. Interestingly enough, Hancock’s prior work is largely in the world of comedy, as he’s written for Adult Swim’s Mr. Pickles, MTV’s Faking It, and Spike’s Blue Mountain State, while also creating the go90 streaming show My Dead Ex.

Beyond Miramax, the main connective tissue between the original film and the remake is Robert Rodriguez, according to Variety. Rodriguez has signed on to return as a producer, though I'd actually be more interested to see how he'd remake his own movie, as opposed to another filmmaker stepping in to take the reins. But it's not really the directing that I'm worried about with this.
I Hope The Faculty Doesn't Utilize A.I. To Modernize Its Story

With so many movies (mostly horror) currently focusing on the rise of A.I. technology, from bannedN's sequel and its adults-only spinoff SOULM8TE to AfrAId and beyond, I can only imagine how many Hollywood executives are gleefully rubbing their palms together while imagining how to inject artificial intelligence into as many remakes as possible. Something I don't ever need to see: Speed, but with a self-driving bus.

In any case, the fact that Drew Hancock is the one handling the script makes me wary that The Faculty is going to take the alien parasite threat that made life hell for Herrington High School's students and staff and swap it out with an entirely technological threat. The impetus there being Companion's narrative, and how it shines a horrific light on advanced tech, since I'm sure that's a big part of what inspired Miramax bosses to hire him.

Not that I think Hancock is ill-equipped to craft a completely new take on The Faculty that strays far from A.I. remote-schooling screens on wheels and the rest. And I don't mean to pigeonhole him in such a way, but I would be surprised if he wasn't given certain parameters to work with that tap into Companion's story in some way.

I don't even know how the writer would make that work, though I guess if Jordana Brewster was brought in as an android high school teacher, it wouldn't take much to get students to do whatever she says, even if it's implanting chips in their heads that turn them into slack-jawed monsters. We can only hope she's one of several former cast members who get recruited for the new one.

Still one of Robert Rodriguez's best movies to date, The Faculty is currently among the best movies streaming on Pluto TV. For updates about the new remake, don't forget to insert your new brain chip!

'The Faculty' Remake Set With 'Companion' Director As The Writer

Robert Rodriguez is updating his 1998 cult classic, The Faculty.

According to Variety‘s exclusive report, Rodriguez, who directed the original starring Usher alongside Josh Hartnett, Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy and Jon Stewart, will produce a remake of the film.

Drew Hancock, who wrote and directed the new film Companion, has already been tapped to write the film’s script. No director is attached.

The Faculty focused on a group of high school students who began figuring out that their teachers aren’t who they seem. In fact, they were hiding a conspiracy involving an alien species that takes over human hosts.

The original film was a box office success, so the stakes for the reboot to do just as well are probably quite high.

According to Variety, the move to reboot The Faculty is part of Miramax’s new focus on its past catalog.

The company is now under the helm of Jonathan Glickman, who is focused on breathing new life into popular properties such as Scary Movie. Thanks to working with The Wayans Bros,, the new Scary Movie is set for a 2026 release.
