Plan 9 From Outer Space remake
It has been just over a year since I first wrote about film maker Christopher Kahler's remake of the Ed Wood classic(?) "Plan 9 From Outer Space." At that time I was questioning Kahler's sanity at making a modern redo of what is, arguably, one of the
worst films ever produced.
Of course, Kahler is not the only director working on a remake of the Wood's sci fi/horror stew, John Johnson, should be ready to debut his "Plan 9" any time now.
Yes, a year ago I questioned their sanity. Today, I say...."hey go for it!" "Why not?" The world could always use a good dose of camp, and how things are going these days, a good laugh or two.
Now, Kahler's take on redoing "Plan 9" is very straight-forward, remake it, just copy the film pretty much scene for scene with modern locals, verbiage, and actors.
Recently the film maker got a rather impressive endorsement for his film, "The executor of Wood's estate personally told me he loves it, which is a huge boost so I think we're definitely on the right track with it."
Indeed, if Wood's people are on board, the rest of us should be as well.
Presently the production has run into a little money trouble, so Kahler has set up an account at Kickstarter, and produced a promotional video to help raise the needed cabbage to keep things rolling.
