We reported last month that director Shahin Sean Solimon was working in a remake of Plan 9 from Outer Space. However, as the script progressed, the decision was made to drop the connection to Plan 9, and instead it became an original feature titled Attack from Alpha Centauri, which you can learn more about below:
From the Press Release:
Giant Flick Films LLC., announced today that writer/director/actor Shahin Sean Solimon who is best known for the title Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage (2014) PG-13 will be completely scrapping any movie sequels previously planned, and instead developing a fresh new Sci-Fi/Horror project.
“It’s simple, I originally wrote this project as a possible sequel to another classic film from the 50’s era. But after writing the script, and witnessing the story develop much further than I anticipated. Including all fresh ideas and characters, it dawned on me (and this is after much consideration and thought to the process), that this is not a sequel at all, of any kind, without any connection to any other films past or present.” Said Solimon. “It basically got written to a new concept, and I am actually proud and excited to see this happen so organically and true.
No reason to retread an old story with new skin. Therefore my team and I are proud and excited to announce our film will be a classic original Sci-Fi/Horror, titled; Attack from Alpha Centauri. According to Solimon, Attack from Alpha Centauri is very character driven, dramatic, will be very stylized, and set in a post-apocalyptic future America. The project is being developed independently, and is currently being pitched to movie distributors such as Netflix and others; there is also a possibility that the project may be developed into a full series after the initial film is created.
“Sometimes (very often in my case) you stumble on ideas, and stories that come to you in a dream or thought, and you have to create this world that may entertain and inspire others watching at home. That’s what it’s all about for me, the creativity process, and I hope to develop many more.” Said Solimon.
No release dates are set yet for Attack from Alpha Centauri. Since the project is in early stages of development. More info can be found by getting on Shahin Sean Solimon’s Official FB page: https://www.facebook.com/shahinsolimon
