Joe Dante and Roger Corman Team Up for LITTLE SHOP OF HALLOWEEN HORRORS Movie
Iconic genre filmmakers Joe Dante and Roger Corman are teaming with producer Brad Krevoy on a new film project titled Little Shop of Halloween Horrors, which is a reboot of Corman’s classic 1960 horror comedy, Little Shop of Horrors.
The reimagining will jumpstart a whole new franchise of films, and it will be directed by Dante (Gremlins, The Howling), from a script written by Charles S. Haas (Gremlins 2: The New Batch), with Corman and Krevoy co-producing.
There are no details to share regarding the story, but the original film starred a young Jack Nicholson, and tells the story of a florist named Seymour who discovered a strange plant with a craving for human flesh. As the plant grows, Seymour starts feeding it people to satisfy its craving. It’s a fantastically dark and twistedly fun film.
The movie was later adapted into a off-Broadway musical in 1982, which was in turn adapted into Frank Oz’s classic 1986 movie starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.
I’m curious to see what comes of this Little Shop of Halloween Horrors! The one thing we do know about the plot is the fact that it will most likely be set during the Halloween season. As a fan of the films Dante and Corman have made throughout their careers, I’m looking forward to this.
