Taron Egerton Reportedly in Talks for New ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Movie
It’s been three years since Warner Bros. announced that they’ll be re-remaking Little Shop of Horrors, with Greg Berlanti set to direct and Matthew Robinson writing the script.
Full Circle Cinema brings us the word this week that Taron Egerton (Rocketman) is now in talks to star in the film; according to the site, he’d likely play Seymour Krelborn.
Collider‘s Jeff Sneider confirms this scoop, while also adding that Scarlett Johansson has been offered the role of Audrey, with Billy Porter being eyed to voice Audrey II.
In the musical tale, a nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
