In any of its incarnations, be it one of the screen versions or the stage, Little Shop of Horrors has always been one of those delightful little stories that I’ve loved. Sure the Roger Corman one is a classic… but even throw in the one with Rick Moranis and I’m a totally happy camper.
Anyway, it should come as no surprise in this remake frenzied world that it appears a Little Shop of Horrors remake is indeed in the works. The good folks over at ComingSoon give us these details:
Roger Corman’s 1960 comedy The Little Shop of Horror is being updated by director Declan O’Brien (upcoming Wrong Turn 3). “I just optioned the remake rights,” told the site. “We’re going to set that up as a studio feature.” The director is going to be shepherded by Corman and The Bourne Identity producer Andrew Tennenbaum.
Can a remade project like Little Shop of Horrors actually work in the theatrical environment we have today? To be frank I’m not convinced. Still… I’ll be there to see it no matter how bad it turns out.
