Bloody-Disgusting posted the news that Darkstone Entertainment is putting together a remake of famed bad director Edward D. Wood, Jr's magnum opus Plan 9 from Outer Space in celebration of that film's 50th Anniversary. The new movie will simply be titled Plan 9 and it has the blessing of surviving cast member Conrad Brooks.
Just in time for Halloween, a group of Ed Wood aficionados have announced that they've discovered the highly amusing Z-grade director's last known film, Necromania. Made in 1971 for less than $7,000, the pornographic horror movie tells the tale of a couple who search for occult means to spice up their sex life.
Ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, Edward D. Wood, Jr., bad movie king, had a tinge of genius? Shudder if you will, but consider it. Modern indie filmmaker Kevin Smith has taken at least one of Wood's narrative devices: a consistent universe.
