    Taking A 'Wrong Turn' With 'Little Shop' Remake

    I quickly got over the shock that there was actually a "Wrong Turn 3" coming out, I didn't even know there was a "Wrong Turn 2", when I read that Declan O'Brien is planning on remaking "The Little Shop of Horrors". I know remakes are the new "crutch" that Hollywood is now leaning on, but Roger Corman's "The Little Shop of Horros" was already remade. In 1986 director Frank Oz took at stab at the musical with "Little Shop of Horrors" starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. O'brien won't be remaking the remake according to Bloody Disgusting:

    While chatting with Declan O'Brien about his forthcoming direct-to-video effort Wrong Turn 3, he revealed exclusively to Bloody-Disgusting that he just optioned the rights to Roger Corman's classic The Little Shop of Horrors! “Actually its been a busy time for me. I just optioned Roger Corman’s 'The Little Shop of Horror', which Im setting up as a big studio remake," he tells B-D this morning. "We're in the process of talking to studios this week. It will be a remake of Roger’s original 1960’s movie. I don’t want to reveal too much, but it’s me, it’ll be dark," he explains. "It wont be a musical." In the original a clumsy young man nurtures a plant and discovers that it's a bloodthirsty plant, forcing him to kill to feed it.

    So in conclusion Declan O'brien plans on remaking a movie that has already been remade but is not remaking the remake, instead he is remaking the original. Got it?
