Great news this morning, the remake of Revenge of the Nerds is dead. Thank the lord. Although the reasons aren't fully given, at least they've scrapped one remake.

According to Variety through Coming Soon the reason was not just that they had lost their shooting location.

According to the trade, another issue was that Fox Atomic's Peter Rice was not completely satisfied with the dailies and that the film felt smaller than the kind of pic he's aiming to release from Atomic

Great stuff. I mean with such a strong offering as Turistas, for which you can catch the trailer through here, coming out with a remake that you know just wouldn't work these days was a very poor choice. So scrapping it is a strong and bold move.
