Amazon MGM Studios has teamed up with Ryan Gosling to develop a remake of Killer Klowns From Outer Space, the Chiodo brothers’ 1988 cult classic horror comedy. Killer Klowns From Space was directed by Stephen Chiodo from a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother Charles Chiodo. The original movie starred Grant Cramer as Mike, Suzanne Snyder as Debbie, John Allen Nelson as Officer Dave Hansen, Royal Dano as Farmer Gene Green, John Vernon as Officer Curtis Mooney, and Christoper Titus as Bob McReed, with Charles Chiodo portraying Jojo the Klownzilla.
“In the film, a spaceship looking like a circus tent lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankind by turning people into cotton candy,” reads the original movie’s synopsis. “Luckily, the town’s teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful but deadly weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!”
