Greetings, my friend! We are are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown...the mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why you are here. But what if were were to tell you that someone plans to remake the worst movie of all time? Would that be a future worth living in?
Yes, folks, someone is remaking Plan 9 from Outer Space. It's come to this: apparently having exhausted the entire supply of old sit-coms, action movies, and low-budget horror flicks, some group of misguided maniacs has decided to remake the Ed Wood flick that is famous for being the most incompetent, incomprehensible, and poorly acted in motion picture history. Worse still, they seem to be intent on taking out the only good things in the movie and replacing them with things aren't there in the first place: according to the website, the makers of the retitled Plan 9 intend for their movie to be "serious-minded", without "camp or parody", and will focus on the sci-fi aspects of the Wood original but will be "character-driven". It's not clear what character will be driving it -- Tor Johnson's? -- but we'll take their word for it.
The remake is set to debut in 2009, the fiftieth anniversary of the original. All we can say is, if they don't get Albert Pyun, or at least Uwe Boll, involved in this project, we ain't seein' it.
