Don't those three make such a gorgeous family?
A whole bunch of people I like — Dylan Walsh of Nip/Tuck, Penn Badgley of Gossip Girl, Sela Ward of Once and Again, and possibly Adrianne Palicki of Friday Night Lights — have teamed up for a remake of the 1987 thriller The Stepfather.
Too bad their family is totally dysfunctional.
The story centers on a teenager (Badgley) who begins to suspect that his soon-to-be stepfather (Walsh) may be a psycho murderer who killed his previous family. Ward will play the mother; Palicki, who is still in negotiations, would play Badgley's character's girlfriend.
Will it be spooky?
I haven't seen the original, but Variety reports that this remake will be done in the style of a Hitchcock thriller.
Fun fact about the first Stepfather:
The role of the crazy stepfather was originated by Terry O'Quinn, now of Lost fame. He also reprised the role in a 1989 sequel, imaginatively titled Stepfather II.

ha! i thought this post would be about gossip girl, and i thought that sela ward was dan and jenny's mother and dylan would be her lover or something. guess i was wrong.
1Ha, pinkflats, that would be *awesome*.
2f*ck. There Hollywood goes again ruining a good movie. The original Stepfather with Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost) in classic suspense goodness. It does not need to be remade.
3hah, I totally was on the same train of thought as pinkflats. It took me a second to realize that this was about a remake. Although Dylan Walsh on GG would be awesome.
4Dylan Walsh is amazing.
5The first one was pretty cheesy....usually I poopoo remakes but in this case...bring it on! Plus, I have a thing for Dylan Walsh.
6LOL @ ".....imaginatively titled Stepfather II."
That line made me laugh and laugh
The original is SO creepy. I don't know if Dylan Walsh has the look to pull this one off, though. Terry O'Quinn scared the bejeezus outta me in the original.
