'X-Ray' next for Fresnadillo
Spanish director eyes 'Man' remake
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Spanish helmer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has made a deal with MGM to develop a film based on director Roger Corman's 1963 pic "X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes," a movie from the Lion's library.

The original starred Ray Milland as a scientist who is near a breakthrough in X-ray vision technology when his funding is cut off. Desperate to show results, the doc applies eye drops that eventually cause him to lose control over his growing powers.

Mandeville Films partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce with Enrique Lopez Lavigne. Lou Arkoff will exec produce.

The director hasn't committed to a film since "28 Weeks Later."

Fresnadillo is in Hollywood this week meeting with writers for "X" and is expected to set one quickly.

Anyone remember years and years ago that Tim Burton was supposed to do this film?

What an odd movie to remake. I love the first one though.

It's better than remaking an outright classic. I thought 28 Weeks Later was better than 28 Days Later, so I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Yay!
Finally we get to have an X-Ray vision movie where the Man with X-Ray Eyes get to see more than the bare backs of hot chicks!
