It’s the remake no one asked for, Ed Wood’s cult classic Plan 9 from Outer Space! (original trailer below)

It’s nonsensical plot about aliens that reanimate the dead to stop the Earth from making a sun-bomb, non-existent production value ($60,000), and a drugged up Bela Lugosi earned it the title of “worst movie ever made” but that didn’t discourage the people “pulling the strings” behind Plan 9.

And judging by the trailer (video bottom) they’ve succeeded or failed, depending on your point of view. Let’s not forget that long before people were lining up in droves for midnight screenings of The Room, this movie, prolific for its sheer badness, was getting spoofed on shows like Mission Hill (video middle).

Plan 9‘s director John Johnson will be doing a live Q + A on BlogTV.com this Sunday (9/13) 8PM. And don’t forget to visit the official movie website http://www.plan9movie.com for any updates.
