Darren Lynn Bousman, director of SAW 2-4 and the new cult classic Repo: The Genetic Opera, recently signed on to direct a remake of the 1980 cult horror classic, Mother’s Day. Twisted Pictures are now fast-tracking the film.

Filming for Bousman’s latest outing will begin in Winnipeg, Canada on August 24th, 2009 and is set to wrap on October 9th, 2009, according to Production Weekly.

The original film was directed by Charles Kaufman, who is the brother of Troma Entertainment co-founder and Toxic Avenger director Lloyd Kaufman.

The story revolves around a sadistic family who return to their childhood home to torture the new residents and please their evil mother.

As previously reported, Bousman had this to say about the film: “While it pays homage to the 1980 original film, it is defiantly it’s own beast… This film will not be a carbon copy remake… It’s unique, clever, scary, violent, and fun.”

Twisted Pictures will be producing the film and is expected to target a Mother’s Day 2010 release.

Bousman’s next project was slated to be a submarine heist movie called Akula, there is also no word on the status of that film.
