Yes, I could hardly believe it when I read it the first time, but now I’ve had time to digest it (so to speak) I actually think it’s a cool idea. According to Bloody Disgusting through Coming Soon Adam Sandler was caught…
…saying one of his favorite remakes was the “Dawn of the Dead” remake. I asked him if he had considered doing a remake of a horror movie and he said “We actually talked, still do, about Killer Tomatoes. I think we should do that one – lots of gore, but lots of laughs too. Robby’s in. That’s a classic man….we definitely goin to look at that again soon.”
The bizarre humour of Sandler and the movie itself make an excellent coupling I think. Despite Attack of the Killer Tomatoes not being that big a hit you could really see something off the wall being done and it being remade with Sandler. It has a strange kind of appeal for me.
