‘It’ Adaptation Will Take All Summer to Film
The novel-to-film adaptation of Stephen King’s It has gone through a lot of difficulties to get to this point. The loss of director Cary Fukunaga last year caused a lot of consternation among fans as well as required a new script to be written. Not exactly something a studio wants to go through, I assure you.
But all of that is in the past and Pennywise the Clown will be coming to life in the near future as it’s been confirmed in a recent edition of 24 Hours Toronto that Canadian city will host the cast and crew between July 7th and September 6th, which is practically the entirety of the summer season.
Instead of Fukunaga, Mama director Andy Muschietti will be giving us his vision of King’s classic horror tale, which was adapted in a made-for-TV event back in 1990.
As of now, no cast has been confirmed. We’ll be keeping our ears open to see who “floats down here”.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
