As far as we can tell, the folks in charge of the rights to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the franchise that kicked off with 1978’s cult classic, are working on a remake of the film, as an interesting Comic Con-related promotion has begun on the official website.
The site notes that special “Seeds of Destruction” packets are being deposited around San Diego Comic Con this week in promotion of the upcoming project; if you find the seeds, you’re asked to bring them to the Atomic Toybox booth (#3921), where you can enter to “audition for a part in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”
Mind you, if you don’t find the seeds or you’re not even going to be at Comic Con in the first place, there’s still a form where you can throw your hat in the running anyway.
The fine print details, “No purchase necessary for entry. Participants will be selected by October 31, 2018, subject to the movie production timeline. Entry does not guarantee selection. Participants will not be compensated for travel or related expenses. The audition location will be in San Diego, California.”
Details are virtually nonexistent at this time, so we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
In the original film, which spawned three sequels, “A group of scientists band together to save the world from mutated killer tomatoes.”
