The Ratnerized MOTHER'S DAY Is Apparently Moving Forward...


Merrick here...

A while back, we got wind that Brett Ratner was going to produce a remake of Charles Kaufman's 1980 film MOTHER'S DAY.


THIS awkwardly worded description at Bloody Disgusting says the film is about...


Three women who were friends in college get together for a ten year reunion and decide to go camping in the woods. Unknown to them, two boys and their mother who happen to live in those very same woods, like to abduct people, who happen to wander in their neck of the woods, and torture them, just like they see on TV!

Anyway, the point of all of this is that the project seems to be moving forward & is now being circulated to directors - per the BD article linked above.

I was briefly tempted to suggest Ratner should go ahead and direct this himself, but quickly came to the conclusion that even MOTHER'S DAY would be a stretch for his abilities.
