Coming to Theaters
WAMG First Look & (a little) Who is that guy?
Nelson McCormick is stepping out of the television box, and on to the Big Screen with not one, but two remakes of Cult Classics “Prom Night” (1980) & “The Stepfather“(1987) both of which delivered numerous sequels.
Synopsis from Shocktillyoudrop:Â Â
Prom Night 
(Opening 4/11)
Donna’s senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life, one of magic, beauty, and love. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. But when the night turns from magic to murder there is only one man who could be responsible…the man she thought was gone forever. Now, Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the sadistic rampage of a killer, and survive their Prom Night.
The Stepfather
David Harris, very much a “family values” man, mysteriously comes into the lives of single mothers with children and becomes the dream man they always wanted. When he woos Susan Harding and eventually moves in with her family, her teenage son Michael begins to suspect that David is not quite the dream man he pretends to be. Along with his girlfriend Kelly and Susan’s friends they slowly start to piece together the mystery of the man who is set to become their stepfather, but they may be too late in getting to the truth.
If you are unfamiliar with Nelson McCormick’s body of work, he’s been directing some of America’s favorite television shows. McCormick’s credits include episodes of Prison Break, Nip/Tuck, ER, The West Wing, Cold Case, Third Watch, CSI, CSI:NY, House M.D., NYPD Blue, along with Sheena: The Series, and V.I.P. starring Pamela Anderson. Which make me wonder a little.Â
So, it will be interesting to see how well, given his history, his abilities will translate when he jumps into a big screen situation.
