‘Kingdom of the Spiders’ Rise Again in 3-D
I really hope to never see this movie as I’m terrified of spiders. Stealth Media Group has come on board for the 3D remake of Kingdom of the Spiders, which quite simply follows a small town infested with spiders. Nuala Barton and Rene Sheridan are producing the update of the 1977 cult classic. Producers Nuala Barton and Rene Sheridan commented: “We are delighted to be working with Stealth Media’s Jason Piette, Sean O’Kelly and Michael Cowan to bring this cult classic back to larger than life, in 3D.” No thanks.
