I would love to see something like that, but I doubt it would ever be released in theaters. At most, it would probably be a direct-to-dvd title. However, given the fact that the Faces of Death series has become sort of a legend, a film paying homage to the series in the way the upcoming film does may not be such a bad idea. The original film (with Dr. Gross) had an eeriness to it that was very unsettling when i first watched it as a child, and that same feeling of eeriness can be conveyed -- and perhaps be given a new dimension -- in the new film.

Either that or Banned From Television. We gotta get a hold of the Faces of Death DVD collection and watch it on Halloween. Either that or Banned From Television.
