Movie Remakes: Killer Tomatoes, Rosemary’s Baby

Although I have a hard time believing there are people out there born after the ‘70s, I understand there are many who’ve never even heard of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Fortunately for them, there will soon be a remake.
Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine - the creators behind the “Ask A Ninja” web shorts - have taken on the challenge of retooling the cult classic. Although the update’s budget will undoubtedly be larger than the original’s (the first film reportedly cost less than $100,000), it’s unclear how far the writers will deviate from the 1978 storyline.
The movie about murderous fruit spawned three sequels including Return of the Killer Tomatoes and Killer Tomatoes Strike Back. (George Clooney‘s career managed to survive an appearance in the former.) No target date for the redo has been announced.
