1980’s Hit ‘Max Headroom’ Is Making a Return On AMC with Elijah Wood and Matt Frewer

Live and right now! Max Headroom is the epitome of the 1980s. It feels like he was the decade brought to life. The insane cyberpunk television series starred Matt Frewer as a computer-generated TV host. Well, Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah’s production company Spectrevision are working on bringing the series back as a drama series over at AMC. Co-creator of Halt and Catch Fire, Christopher Cantwell, will also act as producer. Perhaps best of all, original actor Matt Frewer will return as Headroom.
Max Headroom became a total pop culture sensation in the 80s. The character first turned up in a rarely seen British TV movie called Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future. After that, the guy got his own TV series on ABC. The character then made it to Diet Coke commercials, Newsweek covers, Cinemax for an odd spin-off and he was on almost everyone’s t-shirts.
There was almost nowhere you could look where the character hadn’t influenced pop culture. Even Eminem and Selena Gomez used him in music videos. Headroom has had a crazy, crazy ride, especially considering that the television series only lasted two seasons and wasn’t a huge hit within itself. It was just the character of Matt Frewer’s and his approach to being an odd and glitchy dude that set pop culture ablaze.
The synopsis for Max Headroom went like this:
“After he is seriously injured by his corrupt employers, crusading reporter Edison Carter undergoes a procedure to digitize his mind into a computer program personified by eccentric character Max Headroom. Max’s ability to move through computer and television networks freely is a huge help to Edison, who is determined to stamp out the corruption in his futuristic society.”
Spectrevision is responsible for awesome films like Mandy, The Color Out of Space and Daniel Isn’t Real. So, the trippy cyberpunk series is in good hands to make it into the thing it should have potentially always been.

A Sequel to the Vertigo-Inducing ‘Fall’ is Now in the Works

Fall was a surprise hit last year. The film saw two daredevils climb up an isolated radio tower only to be trapped at the top of the tower for the remainder of the film. The film was terrifying in an all-new sort of way. If you are afraid of heights the film was nearly unwatchable. I for one can relate. It was entirely terrifying throughout. Now Fall has a sequel in the works that will undoubtedly see more gravity-defying terror.
Scott Mann and the producers at Tea Shop Productions are all in the early stages of the brainstorming phase.
“We’ve got a couple of ideas we’re kicking around … We don’t want to make something that feels like a copycat or less than the first one.“ Producer James Harris said.
The synopsis for Fall went like this:
For best friends Becky and Hunter, life is all about conquering fears and pushing limits. However, after they climb 2,000 feet to the top of a remote, abandoned radio tower, they find themselves stranded with no way down. Now, their expert climbing skills are put to the ultimate test as they desperately fight to survive the elements, a lack of supplies, and vertigo-inducing heights.
Did you see Fall? Did you see it in theaters? It was an all-out terrifying experience for some. How did you feel about it? Let us know in the comments section.
We will be sure to keep you in the loop for future updates on the Fall sequel.
