Little Shop of Horrors
Greg Berlanti has carve out an impressive niche for himself in as the brains behind the so - called"Arrowverse"of DC Comics TV series , currently turn outbig ratingsfor The CW and a broadly cocksure reception . But if fans were expecting him to remain in the superhero genre , they ’re now in for a surprisal . Berlanti will instead make his feature directing debut with a remake of the repugnance - musical , Little Shop of Horrors .
The 1986Little Shop of Horrorsmovie was an adaption of a long - run off - Broadway production that put a rock - musical twist on the premise of an notorious ' LX Bel - motion-picture show from directorRoger Corman . In the story , a milquetoast florist shop class employee discover Seymour Krelborn becomes a renown for growing a bizarre unexplored industrial plant that rapidly grows to giant - size of it . Unknown to the rest of the world , the plant is actually a sentient alien being that eat human flesh to live - and while Seymour only intends for evil people and/or who ’ve wronged him ( or his loved ones ) to be eaten , the flora has other plans .
Deadlineis reporting that Berlanti has sign on to organise a remake of the 1986Little Shop of Horrorsmovie - itself , send by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis , as well as Ellen Greene . Matthew Robinson ( The Invention of Lying ) is writing the screenplay for what is being described as simply a"fresh take"onLittle Shop of Horrors . It is not yet clear whether that means the movie will include newfangled and/or rearranged musical number ( which were a major factor of the 1986 movie ) .
Bill Murray and Steve Martin also appeared in pocket-size roles in the 1986Little Shop of Horrorsmovie , with R&B caption Levi Stubbs memorably put up the spokesperson of the monster plant , Audrey II . The plant itself was a famously elaborated full - sized mechanical puppet that need 60 wheeler dealer at its largest scale ( one ton in weight ) and a unequaled cinematography process , wherein human actors had to move and deliver their lines in slow - motion for " fit " the puppet ’s movements and dialogue being artificially sped - up in post - production . It is unknown whether the raw film will feature a similar practical Audrey II , or choose for CGI alternatively .
The original free rein was conceived by instrumentalist Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman , whose Sung and playscript were re - used for the film . However , while the original sinister ending of the play ( where the plant eventually deliver the goods and an army of monster plants get an all - out global ravishment on humanity ) was shot , the expensive succession was originally junk by the studio apartment and interchange with a happy end , after test audience reacted negatively . Considered famously " misplace " for tenner , the footage was restored for a 2012 videodisc release .
