Plan 9 From Outer Space just entered the public domain, and being the little Sci-Fi buff, I thought I should introduce my daughter to this infamous film. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s widely known as the worst film ever made. 
It was written, produced and directed by Ed Wood (go rent the film of the same name by Tim Burton for some background).
In any case, if ever there was a film that was ripe for a remake, and one of the very few projects I would get behind in this regard, this would be it. But no, the studios are too busy doing remakes of lame 80’s TV shows instead.
The cool thing about a remake of “Plan 9″ is that it could go in either of two directions: It could be made on a shoestring, with the attempt to recapture the unintentionally funny spirit of the original, or the basic story could be turned into a real horror/sci-fi film. I mean it’s got the elements, right? Re-animated corpses, aliens, spaceships…
Come on folks, somebody throw a script together and get busy!

Oh… that would be sweet! Spielberg should have done that instead of the underwhelming War of the Worlds. :confused:

That’s a great idea for a remake, and it could go either way, but I would much rather it be bad. I have seen both Ed Wood (awesome movie) and the origional plan 9, and I can’t imagine it being done well. I have seen weird things before, but an Ed Wood script with major hollywood treatment is the tops.
