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.
