1990s Favorite ‘The Faculty’ Getting a Remake at Miramax

The 1990s are hot again here in 2025, with properties including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and even Idle Hands all plotting returns. Additionally, Variety reports today that Miramax is headed back to school with a remake of The Faculty now in the works.

Robert Rodriguez, who directed the original The Faculty back in 1998, is returning to produce the remake, with Drew Hancock (Companion) attached to write the screenplay.

The Faculty remake will be produced by BoulderLight (Barbarian, Weapons).

Written by Kevin Williamson (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer), the 1998 sci-fi horror film starred a cast of hot young talents including Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, Laura Harris, Josh Hartnett, Shawn Hatosy, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Patrick, Usher Raymond, Jon Stewart, and Elijah Wood.

In that original movie, a group of small-town high school students, including an introverted photographer and a charismatic drug dealer, begin to suspect something’s off with their teachers. After realizing the faculty is, in fact, under the control of mind-controlling alien parasites, the kids are outnumbered and endangered.

Now they’re in a fight against an invasion against not only their school and their town, but also the entire world.

Drew Dietsch wrote here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2020, “The Faculty runs with its Body Snatchers premise and has a ball with filtering through a teen movie lens. The ’90s film has developed a cult following in recent years and it has more than earned it. It’s a digestible, silly, well-paced little morsel of sci-fi/horror.”

No word yet on the approach for The Faculty remake. Stay tuned.
