ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES redo!
Posted by Matt Holmes
The ridiculous 70’s B-movie musical/horror/comedy with the greatest poster & title in cinematic history Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is getting a remake.
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever seen it and a 4.1 IMDB rating is hardly one to get you too enthused but somehow it’s the top story in today’s edition of The Hollywood Reporter ahead of a new movie from Ben Affleck!
Just goes to show Ben what type of movie you should be making. Forget Gone Baby Gone… that’s so lame… it’s killer tomatoes that keep you famous!
Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, creators of the hit Web series “Ask a Ninja,” are writing the adaptation of the 1978 cult monster movie, with Nichols set to make his directorial debut.
M. Dal Walton III, the force behind the remakes of “Day of the Dead” and “Terror Train,” acquired the rights from Killer Tomato Entertainment and will produce. Emmett/Furla Films will co-produce.
” ‘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 killer tomatoes.
The FORCE behind the remakes of Day of the Dead and Terror Train? Is that really something to be proud of?
Well I guess it’s good they are keeping the plot of killer tomatoes. Is that not the best line you have ever read from The Hollywood Reporter?
Here’s the first video from “Ask a Ninja”. Jeez…
I know, I know… I thought that animals attack the world movie last week sounded pretty fun but this just going one step too far right?

This just went to number 1 on my anticipation meter!
I saw the original on late night local station tv, and never forgot it. It’s funny in that Ed Wood sort of way.
Sure to be a reeking pile of shit. But of course some morons will go see it…
Hey! Reeking piles of shit can be entertaining. You saw Superman Returns. Wait, that was deadly boring. Never mind then.
JaySmack probably frequents the IMDB boards, haha. Such a cynic.
This could be entertaining and fun, like the original.
Hey Cambion, thanks for proving me right. Bet you LOVED Transformers too, huh?
Nope. Absolutely hated it.
Where did you even get that comparison? Or are you just trying to get a reaction? A poorly made crowd-pleaser like Transformers is completely different than intentional camp.
I didn’t say a word to you. What say you do me the same favor, okay?
