Mike Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 There back? "Killer Tomatoes" ripe for remake NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!" -- a cult monster movie sometimes billed as the worst film of all time -- is cooking up a comeback. Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, creators of the hit Web series "Ask a Ninja," are writing an adaptation of the 1978 opus, with Nichols set to make his directorial debut. "'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!' is the masterwork of a generation," Nichols said. "We can only aspire to recapture that magic." No changes to the original plot have been revealed, but it still is expected to revolve around genetically altered tomatoes on the warpath. Nichols and Sarine's satirical "Ninja" shorts have garnered more than 80 million Web views and won best series at the 2006 YouTube Video Awards. Their "Ninja" commentator has appeared on National Public Radio and VH1's "Best Week Ever." The original "Tomatoes" spawned the Fox Kids Network's "ATV" cartoon series and the 1988 feature sequel "Return of the Killer Tomatoes," which helped launch George Clooney's career.

bluesboy Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The billing of worst film ever should go to Hot Rods To Hell (1967) with Dana Andrews complaining "Oh, my back" every 10 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
