Hollywood Limbo claims another victim: Joe Dante’s small Halloween Horrors store is set aside

I was quite enthusiastic Joe Dante’S Little Shop of Halloween Horrors Film project, but it seems that it is no longer going on.

The long -standing reimagination of Little Shop of Horrors He hit a wall and, according to Dante, that wall does not move soon. Dante told The Direct:

“At the moment, like so many things in the city, nothing is happening. And we always hope that it will change, but it is not the most beautiful time right now [get] Projects from the ground. “

This comes directly from the director of Gremlins, The uluosoAND The “BURBS. If he cannot make something move in Hollywood, he says very much about the current state of the sector.

The project, announced for the first time last year, was launched as a darker ride inspired by Halloween on the cult classic, with the hope of launching a full -blown franchise.

The script was written by Charles S. HaasA long -standing Dante collaborator behind Gremlins 2: the new batch AND Matinee.

Roger CormanThe King of Indie Horror and director of the original 1960 Little Shop of HorrorsHe was on board as a producer before his death in May 2024. The production team also included Brad Krevoy (Stupid and stupid, Pin) AND Charles Cohen (Snack shack).

The original Little Shop of Horrors Seymour follows, a shy florist who discovers a mysterious plant with a taste for human flesh. What begins like a bizarre discovery turns off in a descent of horror comedy in madness and murder. The concept practically screams for a reimagination, but Hollywood is not listening to right now.

It is a frustrating update, especially for fans of chaos that blends Dante’s kind. But at a time when the film industry feels as if it were in place, Little Shop of Halloween Horrors It joins the growing cemetery of projects blocked in limbo.

If this makes a sprout again or remains buried, it is a hypothesis of anyone.
