Ready for Another Visitation from the Killer Klowns from Outer Space?
June 11th, 2011
The 1988 cult favorite hit from Charles and Edward Chiodo, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, has a huge and devout fanbase. In fact, it's a wonder that no one has made a sequel (or even a remake) by now. That could very well be about to change though ...
According to fan site Freddy in Space, a sequel is well in the works. The news broke during an interview with Grant Cramer, who played character 'Mike Tobacco' in the film, who stated that, "We have a script and a commitment for all our funding, but the money can't be spent until we have a distribution deal in place so that's where we are – talking to distributors. As soon as that final piece comes into place, we should be pretty much good to go."
Adding in terms of plot, "Well, I don’t want to say too much about the story at this early juncture, but I will say that it is connected to the first movie and my character will be the mentor to the two new young leads that have to try to save the world from the Klowns when they return," Cramer reveals. "They're also trying to save themselves because the bad stuff the Klowns do at first gets blamed on them."
Check out a teaser video below, and look for more soon!

Second Cowboys & Aliens Trailer Brings the ActionLast night during Spike TV's "Guys Choice Awards" the second full-length trailer for Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens made its debut, and we've saddled up the horses and got it for you right here, pardner! Cowboys and Aliens opens on July 29th and stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer.
That trailer can't be real. A six year old could've done better in iMovie.

Are we sure this is a real news story? The attached 'trailer' is beyond amateur and the new added fonts look like they were done by a preschooler.
I think someone should call the Chiodo bros. and ask what's up.

The Chiodo Bros. better be involved.

Definitely.
A sequel to this could be a lot of fun if the brothers throw their all into it. If they're not involved my interest level drops to 0.

Same here. If the Chiodo Bros. aren't doing this then I could care less about it.
