PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE Remake Teaser Trailer

So someone had the bright idea of remaking Ed Wood's cult classic film, Plan 9 From Outer Space. It is absolutely ridiculous that this movie is being remade. Seriously what is the point!? The original is a classic film because of what it is, and the circumstances that surrounded the production. There's a mythology that has been built around over the last 50 years is what makes his film so special. In the original film, aliens resurrect dead humans as zombies and vampires to stop human kind from creating the Solaranite (a sort of sun-driven bomb).

John Johnson is the director of the film . When he first announced that they would be remaking Plan 9 here is the statement they released:

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. 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.


I never liked the this idea. Ed Wood is probably rolling in his grave right now. The best way to honor Ed Wood, would be not to remake his film. After watching the trailer below I'm not sure they accomplished what they set out to do anyway. The movie looks incredibly campy, and not very scary at all. It looks like they just wasted a bunch of money on a bad retelling of one of the best worst films ever made. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think!
