I agree with Lucas, there is absolutely no way they are taking themsleves seriously. If they are, this may be the saddest movie ever.

At first, I said: "But, the story was stupid! The reason it's so endearing is the kicked over cardboard gravestones and the pie pans flying through the sky. What's the point? Really? It's just plain silly to remake this."

Now, having watched the trailer, I still think it's just plain silly, but perhaps it will be the good kind of silly. It's still silly, though. It's never going to get anywhere near the feeling of the old one.

(Also, TK, you forgot the 3 in MST3K. Unless you were referring to your wife: "is a MS.TK favorite". In which case, you're still wrong, because she's MRS.TK.)

Also, did the gravedigger call his dog "babe"?

From the official website:

"Now, in time to coincide with the 50th anniversary of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", director John Johnson - along with his production company, Darkstone Entertainment - is poised to remake the classic film. Simple titled "Plan 9", the remake will be a serious-minded retelling of the original story, paying homage to the spirit of Wood's film without resorting to camp or parody. The film will focus on the horror and science fiction aspects of the original, but will also be largely character-driven. Johnson's goal for "Plan 9" is to make a film that honors not only the original source material, but also Ed Wood's intentions when he made "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Wood's plan was to make a very scary sci-fi/horror film, and Johnson wishes to do exactly that - create a film that Wood would have enjoyed, or perhaps even made himself, if not bound by the technological limitations placed on filmmakers 50 years ago."

Uh oh.

The original Plan 9 was never on MST3K.


Sidenote:
There are sooooooooooooooo many worse movies, be thankful someone is just being stupid enough to remake this and not Manos: The Hands of Fate or Attack of the the Eye Creatures. (the extra "the" is for extra fun!)

Ok, I wanted to do this with the Boondock Saints 2 trailer until I actually saw it and the, the, the face. So...

BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK,BUNK, BUNK, BUNK, BUNK.

"Plan 9 From Outer Space" was NOT the worst movie ever made. It was actually the BEST movie Ed Wood ever made. He made worse ones. "Bride of the Monster," "Glen or Glenda," and "Jailbait."

"However Plan 9 From Outer Space" was damn good fun to watch. There's bad movies ("Manos:The Hands of Fate") which are so bad that they are unwatchable, and then there's bad movies that are fun to watch.

Now "Attack of The The Eye Monsters" (sic) WAS actually a remake, by the same director (Larry Buchanan), of his own original movie "Invasion of The Saucer Men." Apparently calling the remake "The Eye Monsters" wasn't good enough, so he added "Attack of The" above it, not noticing that he already had "The" in the title.

OK so now that we've started remaking Ed Wood movies does that mean we've hit the bottom of the remake bag? I mean....what's left after you remake Plan 9? Nothing right? Unless they start remaking last week's releases...right? Right???

This remake, through the teaser trailer, doesn't look half bad with half way decent special effects. I"m glad they decided to try and remake a classic flop with the original director's intentions in mind. Not to mention, it would be interesting to remake Manos: the hands of fate either through the masters or Torgo's point of view. Of course, like with any bad remake including this one, some major overhaul is needed for that to happen.
