Sawa's son might have been unaware of his dad's role in the original movie, but the actor's followers apparently never stopped loving his performance.
"There is NOO [sic] reason that movie needs a remake! The OG will always be the OG!" wrote one fan.
"I always reference this classic when trying to explain how this was a peak time for horror cinema," agreed a second person.
"Ok but… like are you getting a cameo ? Can we get the Offspring to come back? I grew up along side Devon Sawa movies. I need them for the next gen!" declared another X user.
"Finn will be their Anton. You will always be ours!"someone else vowed.
According to Variety, Wolfhard and Billy Bryk—who co-wrote and co-directed the festival hit Hell of a Summer—have signed on to write the updated version of Idle Hands for Sony Pictures, with Jason Reitman producing.
“Finn and Billy crushed their directorial debut and have a completely original take on Idle Hands that captures a disaffected generation,” Reitman said. “We are excited to support them as they bring their unique take to the screen and summon the demons.”
