OVERRIPE FOR A REDO: KILLER TOMATOES ATTACK AGAIN.

Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine are writing an adaptation of the 1978
cult monster movie ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES!, according to THE
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.

Sarine and Nichols created the hit Web series ASK A NINJA; and TOMATOES
will be Nichols' directorial debut.

Killer Tomato Entertainment sold the rights to the remake to M. Dal
Walton III (who remade DAY OF THE DEAD and TERROR TRAIN), who is
producing along with co-producer Emmett/Furla Films.

"ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! is the masterwork of a generation,"
Nichols told the REPORTER. "We can only aspire to recapture that magic."

Details of the script haven't been released, but it is still expected to
be about, yes, killer tomatoes.

The original's sequel, RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES, helped launch
George Clooney's career and spawned the Fox Kids Network's ATV cartoon
series.

The ASK A NINJA shorts have 80 million Web views and won for Best Series
at the 2006 YouTube Video Awards.
