Turns out he’s bouncing from one remake to another. Eisner is now attached to a sticky revamp of David Cronenberg’s early monsterpiece THE BROOD.
The original 1979 terror treat starred Oliver Reed as a therapist whose innovative technique causes patients to purge negative emotions through gruesome body horrors and rage-beasts birthed by an angered mother.
The update comes from writer Cory Goodman, who also worked on the upcoming vampire-western PRIEST.
This would be the second remake of a horror-masters early work for Eisner — his version of George Romero’s THE CRAZIES arrives early next year.
