Paddy Chayefsky's ALTERED STATES Up Next for a Remake...
May 26th, 2004
According to Variety, Warner Bros. has hired screenwriter Fernley Phillips to write a remake of ALTERED STATES, the 1980 Ken Russell-directed psychedelic sci-fi thriller. The original film centered on a psychophysiologist (William Hurt) who uses a sensory deprivation tank to put his mind back into more primitive states of human evolution, with catastrophic results.
Paddy Chayefsky adapted the film from his own novel, however, the three-time Oscar winning scribe so detested the director's vision that he removed his name and replaced it with the pseudonym Sidney Aaron (his first and middle names).
