Dit is een beetje langs mij heen gegaan, maar de mensen van Darkstone Entertainment (?) zijn bezig met een remake van Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space. Binnen bepaalde kluwen filmnerds wordt dit werk beschouwd als de slechtste film ooit. Een mening die ik overigens niet onderschrijf. De info:

Now, in time to coincide with the 50th anniversary of “Plan 9 From Outer Space”, director John Johnson – along with his production company, Darkstone Entertainment – is poised to remake the classic film. Simple 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. Johnson’s goal for “Plan 9″ is to make a film that honors not only the original source material, but also Ed Wood’s intentions when he made “Plan 9 From Outer Space”. Wood’s plan was to make a very scary sci-fi/horror film, and Johnson wishes to do exactly that – create a film that Wood would have enjoyed, or perhaps even made himself, if not bound by the technological limitations placed on filmmakers 50 years ago.

Ik zie nog niet echt aanleiding om dit te gaan kijken.
