One of the most well-known science fiction films ever made was Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not because of its amazing special effects or captivating storyline. Ed Wood's film was known primarily for just being god awful. So of course it's getting a remake. The new film will be titled Plan 9 and it promises to do right by the original.

The original film was written and directed by Ed Wood and came out in 1959, the height of America being afraid of communist and aliens. The movie was about aliens who wanted to stop humanity from creating a doomsday device. They do this by bringing back the dead to cause chaos. And it was bad.
The movie literally has no saving graces. It's so bad, its awfulness has won it cult movie fame. So there is that. It is, however, generally considered to be the worst movie ever made. Ever. In the history of movies.

So the new movie from Monster Pictures has that to work with. Dread Central reports that the new movie will stay close to the original in the storyline. The film is "drenched with gore, skin, and toe-tapping 50's ditties."
On one hand, Plan 9 from Outer Space was a horrible movie. On the other hand, how could the remake possibly be worse? It's a high bar to meet.
Plan 9 is set to release on February 19, 2015 and can be preordered January 5. It stars Brain Krause, James Rolfe, Camille Keaton and Addy Miller.
