Now is the perfect time to adapt this Cronenberg cult classic.
Alice Birch’s gender-flipped and cooly satirical reimagining of 1988’s Dead Ringers landed on Amazon Prime in April and has already ruffled feathers. The TV adaptation has Rachel Weisz in the dual role of Beverly and Elliot Mantle, gifted gynecologists.
‘Scanners’ Is Great Science Fiction That Is Adaptable at Any Time The best test of great science fiction is whether the concept is still adaptable decades later, and Scanners' subject matter is just as relevant in 2023 as it was in the 1980s. Much of Cronenberg’s writing and filmmaking consistently possesses a disturbing and prescient dimension. Serialized drama is the perfect medium to develop Scanners' intriguing, sinister, and layered story for new audiences.
In Scanners, Dr. Ruth and Darryl Revok create conflict from the outset and like all brilliant, espionage thrillers, the audience is never sure where their loyalties should lie. Revok is the murderous leader of a faction of normality-annihilating Scanners who want to create a new world order and will go to great lengths to accomplish their goal. In response to the threat posed by Revok, Dr. Ruth recruits Vale to infiltrate and possibly destroy Revok’s organization.
“Scanners, alone among Cronenberg’s creations, spawned a franchise, though he has taken no creative part in it. All those films—Scanners II: The New Order , Scanners III: The Takeover , Scanner Cop , and Scanner Cop II: Volkin’s Revenge —stress exploding heads but steer away from the philosophical angles explored by Cronenberg’s film.”
