Another long gestating horror remake could soon be nearing production, as director John Hyams confirms that a reboot of Maniac Cop ‘is going to happen‘, and that filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn (The Neon Demon) is still onboard as producer.
However, we will bring you more news on the Maniac Cop remake as we get it.
The original Maniac Cop is regarded as something of a cult exploitation classic, and like so many other horror films in the ’80s it spawned several sequels.
Released in 1988, it was directed by William Lustig (Maniac) and written by Larry Cohen (It’s Alive).
