Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves

cronenbergOne remake I’m looking forward to is Douglas Buck’s version of DePalma’s Sisters. His Family Portraits trilogy is a must-see for anyone who likes their horror to be quiet yet unsettling.

Fangoria has a chat with Buck about the upcoming release, specifically concerning David Cronenberg’s near-involvement.

“As you know, David Cronenberg was originally slated to play the role. The character is Dr. Bryant, who, in a brief documentary snippet, discusses the necessity of surgically separating the mentally troubled Siamese twins—you can see why Cronenberg was initially attracted to it.”

That piece of casting would have been quite the coup. I think I enjoy Cronenberg’s acting nearly as much as his directing.
