Revenge of the Nerds was planned to be a remake of the 1984 comedy film of the same name, was slated for release in 2007; however, the film was canceled in 2006.

It was to be directed by Kyle Newman, who was going to reteam with screenwriter Adam F. Goldberg, who also wrote the movie Fanboys for him. Very few details about the project have been released thus far, but filming began in October in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia State Capitol, Inman Park and Emory College. The cast include the likes of Katie Cassidy and Jenna Dewan.

On November 22, 2006 the film was scrapped by Fox Atomic when Emory University decided not to participate in the film. According to the Hollywood industry trade publication Variety, another issue was that Fox Atomic's Peter Rice was not completely satisfied with the dailies and that the film felt smaller than the kind of pic he's aiming to release from Fox Atomic, the teen-oriented label launched last year.
