Former child star Elijah Wood is doing his best to stop people yelling "FRODO" at him at traffic lights with his new movie Maniac, a remake of the 1980 slasher pic widely condemned (and beloved) as one of the most irredeemably sleazy examples of the genre. Elijah might seem like an odd choice to play the archetypal serial killer, complete with mommy issues and a mannequin collection, but remember...Ted Bundyseemed like a nice guy, too.
Anyway, the first teaser for the film has hit and not only does the affable Elijah make a surprisingly convincing psychopath, but the uncensored footage includes two sneak peeks of skin at the 0:22 and 1:07 marks.
Maniac was adapted by Piranha 3D's Alexandre Aja and premieres this week at Cannes, so if you've got a few mil burning a hole in your pocket, gas up your private jet and head on over to France to check it out. The rest of us will have to make do with checking out the creepy, kinky Cannes trailer:
