Variety reports that Dimension Films has closed a deal to remake David Cronenberg's 1981 horror pic Scanners. The film will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II & Saw III). David Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade series) will write the script.

The story revolves around a scientist who infiltrates an underground movement of "scanners," whose telepathic abilities make them lethal weapons. The original was best remembered for an exploding head finale.

Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein has earmarked an early 2008 production start; the aim is to release the film later that year.

Bousman starts production on Saw IV on April 15 and then will move directly into the rock opera Repo. Goyer will have the Scanners script ready when he finishes.
