John Landis already told Collider that he’s not involved in his son’s work on the remake of his 1981 classic (aside from the money he will earn), but let’s keep our fingers crossed that some of those Landis genes can help make this iteration of the story live up to the original.
With that said, John Landis does seem to have faith in his son’s ability to pull off the remake, even if he thinks it’s a bad idea.
The delightfully outspoken Max Landis has already proven himself as a successful writer with his work on Chronicle, so he’s not an untested and unknown quantity in the Hollywood landscape.
