The Stepfather, which starred Lost’s Terry O’Quinn and Jill Schoelen (whatever happened to her?) has, like many ’80s movies, undergone the remake process. This time round the father is played by Nip/Tuck’s Dylan Walsh, and the suspicious teen, in a change of gender, is played by Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley. The two star alongside Sela Ward and scream queen Amber Heard, in a teen-friendly remake of the classic 1987 movie.
In the remake, Michael Harding (Badgley) returns home from military school to find his mother (Ward) happily in love and living with her new boyfriend, David (Walsh). As the two men get to know each other, Michael becomes more and more suspicious of the man who is always there with a helpful hand. Is he really the man of her dreams or could David be hiding a dark side? I’ve just been sent the UK trailer for the film which you can see below:
The Stepfather is being released in the UK and Ireland December 11th through Sony Pictures.
