The trend of horror remakes is far from over, in fact, it is continuing to grow (sigh). The next genre film to be added to the long list of remakes, reboots, and revamps is the remake of 1978’s Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Kent Nicholas is directing from the script that he penned with Douglas Sarine. Currently the film is development and will be produced by M. Dal Walton III, according to Movie Insider. In the original, directed by John De Bello, a group of scientists banded together to save the world from mutant killers tomatoes.

Here’s the original trailer. If you haven’t seen the movie, I recommend that you do so immediately.
