Is nothing sacred?! They’ve gone too far this time, I swear to god. You just don’t f*ck with the classics, and now they’re f*cking with the wrong classic! Of course, I’m talking about PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Yes, they’re actually doing it!
Okay so maybe that was a little tongue-in-cheek. But we did indeed receive word today that Darkstone Entertainment is remaking the infamous Ed Wood film, usually called the worst movie ever made (this is before Uwe Boll blessed us with his unique talents, of course). There’s already an official website, which you can check out HERE.
Here’s a snippet from the press release: Simply titled “Plan 9”, the remake will be a serious-minded retelling of the original story, paying homage to the spirit of Wood’s film without resorting to camp or parody. The film will focus on the horror and science fiction aspects of the original, but will also be largely character-driven.
The planned release date is, naturally, September 9, 2009 (9.09.09, get it?) Prepare yourselves…
