Busy Bousman, that's what we like to call him - this evening Bloody-Disgusting received a tip (now confirmed by Variety) that writer/director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Saw III) is once again in heavy negotiations to helm a remake of David Cronenberg's classic sci-fi/horror film Scanners. David Goyer will pen the screenplay. Before Bousman can begin work on Scanners, he already has Saw IV and Repo! The Genetic Opera lined up for Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. The title of the film refers to a group of people who have telekinetic powers that allow them to read minds and give them the ability to make other people's heads explode. The children of a group of women who took an experimental tranquilizer during their pregnancies, the scanners are now adults and have become outcasts from society.
