Many, many years ago I had an absolutely BRILLIANT idea ... well, at least I thought so, lol.
Take the WORST film of all-time, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and remake it with the best of today's horror masters (this idea was in my head around 1983).
Thus, Stephen King does the screenplay (why I thought this, I'm not sure, lol) and George Romero directing. Tom Savini with the job of FX.
The Cast for my remake included ...
Character (Original Actor) .... Remake Cast
Jeff Trent (Gregory Walcott) .... David Naughton
Paula Trent (Mona McKinnon) .... Jamie Lee Curtis
Insp. Dan Clay (Tor Johnson) .... King Kong Bundy
Eros (Dudley Manlove) .... Michael Berryman
Tanna (Joanna Lee) .... Caroline Munro
Gen. Roberts (Lyle Talbot) .... Hal Halbrook
Patrolman Jamie (Conrad Brooks) .... Jeffrey Combs
Vampire Girl (Vampira) .... Elvira
Ghoul Man (Bela Lugosi) .... Angus Scrimm
Criswell (Himself) .... Brother Theodore
The Ruler (John Breckinridge) .... Vincent Price
