Mark A. Altman's Maltman Entertainment is developing a remake of 1983's My Tutor in partnership with Crown International Pictures. Variety says shooting is expected to start in October.
The original film centered on a high school senior who flunks his French final, prompting his parents to hire a (sexy) French tutor to help him pass a make-up exam.
The screenplay for the remake will be adapted by Steven Kriozere, who recently adapted Howling Mad for Sony.
Kriozere will also co-produce through his Drink Octopus Productions.
***************************
Personally, I have my doubts about this. I saw this movie many times and I highly doubt anybody will be able to duplicate Caren Kaye's performance.
My Tutor was one of the best 80's sex comedy movies. We've seen over the last few years that Hollywood remakes of previous movies doesn't have the same appeal or didn't truly was the same as the original.
These days, with many young Hollywood actresses refusing to do any nudity, this raises a question. Will the remake of My Tutor stay true to the original (nudity, sex scenes and comedy) or will they completely change it and make it into a romantic comedy (no nudity, no sex scenes).
