The Hidden Remake Becomes ‘The Seed’, New Writers
I got a scoop dropped in my inbox that the remake of the ’80s sci-fi flick The Hidden had been renamed to The Seed. I didn’t really have much to go on, so it just sat there. Today Cinescape confirmed the news. Originally it was to be penned by Sarah Pinborough, John and Paul Buckholts- but according to Cinescape it will now be written by Rock Shaink Jr. and Mark Jonathan Stanley. There’s a power-mad space slug slithering among (and through) the innocent citizens of L.A., and it’s up to a hardboiled cop and a detective from way up north to stop it in this wonderfully straight-faced sci-fi action flick. The basic plot may be nothing new, but this remains one of the most underrated testosterone fests of the ’80s, with a plethora of amazing stunts (there are more expensive cars smashed here than in the entire oeuvre of Hal Needham), characterizations far beyond the call of duty by Michael Nouri and the otherworldly Kyle MacLachlan, and a startlingly creepy denouement.
