After 25 years, Devon Sawa‘s biggest critics might be his own kids. Following reports that his 1999 teen cult classic Idle Hands is being reimagined by screenwriting duo Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, with Jason Reitman producing, Sawa shared his son’s reaction to the news. “My 10 year old: ‘Awesome!!

Finn Wolfhard from the coolest show Stranger Things is making a new movie called Idle Hands!!’ Me: ‘I was in Idle Hands!! I’m the original Anton!!'” he shared on X. “‘Sure dad.

Whatever you say. — can I have a snack?'” And although one follower scoffed at the idea of a reboot, Sawa is looking forward to seeing a new generation’s take. “It’ll be fun.

I’m excited,” he wrote. Directed by Rodman Flender, Idle Hands (1999) stars Sawa as slacker teen Anton, who wakes up to find his parents have been murdered and his right hand is possessed by the devil.
