Amazon Is Reportedly Making a ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ Remake with Ryan Gosling as a Producer

by

Amazon MGM Studios is developing a fresh project, with Ryan Gosling taking on the role as producer to rejuvenate the 1988 horror-comedy “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” This classic movie is slated for a modern remake, causing quite a buzz (at least for me) among enthusiasts of the original version.

1988’s film titled “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” helmed by Stephen Chiodo, narrates an intriguing story about extraterrestrial jesters with malevolent intentions who descend onto Earth. They infiltrate a quaint California town, abducting people for their blood consumption. With its unique blend of fear and humor, the movie has garnered a dedicated fanbase, achieving an impressive 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 28 reviews.

Through the years, multiple efforts have been made to re-examine and continue the narrative. Initially, the creators, the Chiodo Brothers, had envisioned a sequel that combined fresh concepts with the original, slated for launch in 2012.

The planned project titled “Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D” originally included the reappearance of the character Mike Tobacco, who has since become a paranoid and alcoholic, joining forces with younger associates to battle against the return of the clowns.

The movie titled “Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D” was intended to bring back the character Mike Tobacco, who is now a paranoid drunk, teaming up with younger comrades to resist the clowns’ return.

Originally, I had envisioned a continuation of the story in a movie sequel, but that idea morphed into the possibility of a TV series. Concepts for a four-part trilogy or an extended cable show came about, yet none managed to gain traction. Last year, a video game adaptation of the film was unveiled, garnering moderate praise as a survival horror title.

Information regarding Ryan Gosling’s adaptation is currently limited. As of now, there’s no confirmed cast, director, or release date, yet the mere announcement has generated excitement for a new interpretation of this beloved cult classic.
