Mars Attacks! legacy clearly continues to live on. The campy horror movie released almost 30 years ago, but the merchandise keeps on coming. Earlier this year, Spirit Halloween launched a fantastic Mars Attacks! ray gun replcica, keeping the love for the movie alive through Halloween decorations.
Maybe the time has come for a Mars Attacks! sequel! After all, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a massive success this year. Then again, fans have pointed out that his newest project, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, feels like it could be the spiritual successor to Mars Attacks! The director is currently set to collaborate with Gone Girl and Sharp Objects writer, Gillian Flynn, to tackle the remake of the 1958 film. The original film stars “a wealthy heiress whose close encounter with an alien triggers her to grow into a giant, complicating her marriage, which is already in turmoil, no thanks to her philandering husband.” We’ll have to see exactly what new ideas Flynn and Burton bring to the table, but we’re excited to see where it goes.
