Another Scanners TV show is in development
Way back in 2011, the Weinstein Company announced that it was developing a TV adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1981 sci-fi film Scanners—probably best known these days as the origin of that GIF where a guy’s head explodes. That TV show never happened, as evidenced by the fact that we never got a whole new generation of GIFs where a guy’s head explodes, and now the rights have been picked up Bron Studios and Media Res. According to Deadline, the new owners are also hoping to turn the movie into a TV show, but it doesn’t sound like they’ve offered any more details beyond that.
