The Faculty Could Go Many Ways
The abstract for the original motion-picture show : To the bookman at Harrington High , the principal and her posse of teacher have always been a small odd , but recently , they ’ve been behaving positively alien . Controlled by otherworldly parasites , the faculty taste to infect students one by one . Cheerleader Delilah ( Jordana Brewster ) , football player Stan ( Shawn Hatosy ) , drug dealer Zeke ( Josh Hartnett ) , and raw miss Marybeth ( Laura Harris ) squad up with some of their other class fellow to fight back against the invaders .
One of the most endearing thing aboutThe Facultywasthe soundtrack , which was almost as important as the flick itself in the later 1990s and former 2000s . Creed , The Offspring , Soul Asylum , Oasis , Garbage , dig Westward — this is an all - timer . Weirdly , though he asterisk in the plastic film , Usher did not contribute . The soundtrack also feature one of the worst Pink Floyd covers ever show .
I am just as sick of these remakes and redos as any other repulsion lover , but this one could be a fun update . I do n’t know if you noticed , but the world has dramatically alter since 1998 . A saucy look at a torso - kidnaper story could be a fun time . Grab a bunch of the best untested actors in township right now , and go have some fun with it .
