Scanners, David Cronenberg’s classic work of exploding heads and telekinesis, is being reworked for the small screen. Weinstein Co.’s Dimension Films is using the franchise rights it bought a few years back to develop a drama series based on the movie. The Hills Have Eyes writer-director Alexandre Aja is onboard to executive produce and possibly direct the pilot. If he’s a nice guy, he’ll also clean up the brains after each episode. [Deadline]
