Back in 2006, there was a plan to remake 1984's college comedy Revenge Of The Nerds. Actors (including Adam Brody) were cast, locations scouted, and it was all set to shoot until the campus chosen for the film, Atlanta's Emory University, pulled out. It never returned in that form, but now Seth MacFarlane and twins Keith and Kenny Lucas are planning another new version, with a reboot in the works.
MacFarlane would produce any new film for 20th Century Studios, with the Lucas brothers writing alongside Alex Rubens and starring in what is planned as a total refresh of the idea, chiseling away at some of the more problematic sexual aspects of the original, and focusing on what it means to be a geek in the 21st century.
Revenge Of The Nerds starred Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley and Bernie Casey, and followed a group of college nerds who spar with the jock fraternity the Alpha Betas. It spawned several less-than-successful sequels, and, as mentioned, the attempted remake.
The Lucas brothers have scored several acting jobs on the back of their appearance in 22 Jump Street, and have also been writing on shows and movies. They're also working on an untitled comedy with Jump Street duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
