'O.C.' Geek Brody Brings Back 'Nerds'
September 14, 2004
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Adam Brody, who plays the geeky Seth Cohen on FOX's "The O.C.," is behind yet another '80s remake.
The 24-year-old actor and his fellow actor Bret Harrison are co-producing the redo of the 1984 comedy "Revenge of the Nerds," report news sources.
The pair pitched the concept to "The O.C." executive producer McG, who will produce the remake. Brody and Harrison will possibly appear in the film.
The original "Nerds" centers on college outcasts who set out to overthrow the Alpha Beta jock bullies who stole their dormitory. The new version will most likely have a similar storyline and feature cameos by the original "Nerds."
"Life As We Know It" creators Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah will pen the screenplay.
Brody's film credits include "American Pie 2," "The Ring" and the skateboarding film "Grind." He next stars alongside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the spy romance "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," which will be released in summer 2005.
Harrison, 22, is best known as the gawky Brad O'Keefe on the WB's "Grounded for Life." Both Brody and Harrison have made guest appearances on each other's shows. Harrison appeared opposite Jack Black and Colin Hanks in 2002's "Orange County."
McG has directed the two "Charlie's Angels" films and has signed on to helm Columbia Pictures' "Hot Wheels" project.
