Pretty soon, the number of movies from the 1980s which have not been remade by Hollywood will be less than those that have.
MGM has announced writer Noah Oppenheim to pen the screenplay for its remake of 1983's "WarGames," according to Deadline.
As a television producer, Oppenheim has worked on "Hardball with Chris Matthews," "Today" and "The Buried Life." He has written several films, including "Jackie," which will be directed by Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), but none have made it to screen yet.
In the original "WarGames," two hackers (Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy) break into an advanced military computer, unwittingly putting the world on the brink of nuclear war. A direct-to-video sequel--and I use the word loosely--was released in 2008.
MGM announced in June it had attached "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon to the remake.
