Miramax Revives 'The Faculty' with Rodriguez Producing

A remake of the 1998 sci-fi thriller 'The Faculty' is underway at Miramax, with original director Robert Rodriguez returning as a producer. The screenplay will be written by Drew Hancock, known for his well-received work on the horror film 'Companion'. The original film, which has developed a cult following, follows high school students who discover their teachers are controlled by alien parasites. BoulderLight, the production company behind the horror hit 'Barbarian', is also involved in the remake. Miramax, under new leadership by CEO Jonathan Glickman, is focusing on revitalizing its film library, including projects like 'Scary Movie 6'. This remake is part of a larger trend of reviving 1990s classics, reflecting the era's continued cultural influence in 2025.
