ATTTAAAAACCCCCK Of The Killer To-Maaa-Tooooeeesss!!

Merrick here...


Evidently, the time has come for a remake of ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES. This is not a joke; it's the top story on Hollywood Reporter's website.


No changes to the original plot have been revealed, but it still is expected to revolve around killer tomatoes.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

I could write about the bizarre wondrousness of this all day, and bitch endlessly about the inevitable desecration of a "classic", but...you know...

Personally, I think a KILLER TOMATOES movie in the style of Michael Bay would be pretty fantastic. Check out this footage from the original film:


See? That's some Bay action right there. How did Platinum Dunes miss this one?
