Russ Meyer's estate has endorsed the remake of his 1965 cult classic exploitation film about three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert. "Utilizing the movie’s tale of a trio of badass go-go dancers on a cash-fueled rampage through the desert, Faster Pussycat the TV show aims to pay homage to the original but also go beyond the fast cars and karate kicks to home in on the strong female characters and the overturning of cultural norms that was deeper in the bones of the movie," according to Deadline. Reedus, who's producing the potential series as part of his development deal, adds: “I’ve been watching Russ Meyer’s film since I was a kid, wearing my Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill! shirt to school. It’s safe to say I’m beyond inspired by Russ’ style of filmmaking and I am over the moon excited for the opportunity to reimagine this story for the modern world.”
