Many classic films have been the subject of a reboot or a remake, and often times the reaction to the news of one is less than positive. Take the remake of David Cronenberg‘s Videodrome for example. Not only is it an unnecessary remake, but it’s being scripted by Ehren Kruger, the screenplay writer for the last two Transformers movies. Just by knowing who is attached to write the script for the remake alone tells you that it will almost certainly be not anywhere near the same level as the Cronenberg original.

Adam Berg joins a long line of commercial directors making the leap into feature films by making his directorial debut with the Videodrome remake. Deadline reports that it was one of Berg’s commercials that inspired Universal to make him their top choice.

Judge for yourself and see if he is worthy of directing the remake by watching the commercial below.
