Screen Gems has acquired remake rights to the 1987 horror pic THE STEPFATHER for Greg Mooradian and Maverick Films to produce, reports Variety.
In the original "Stepfather," which was based on a true story, Terry O'Quinn ("Lost") plays a seemingly normal man, who wants the perfect family. When they don't measure up, he eliminates them and moves on to find his next perfect family.
Screen Gems' upcoming releases include "The Covenant" and "Vacancy."
