According to Collider, D'Angelo is tasked with writing a script that will bring back much of the original cast, none of whom have been attached to star.

The project is still in the early stages, Deadline reported.

In 2017, it was reported that a TV movie based on the cult classic film was in the works and the original movie's producer, David Kirschner, was attached, but it never took off.
