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

A new project is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios, with Ryan Gosling stepping in as producer to revive a 1988 horror-comedy. The movie, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, is set to get a remake, sparking excitement (at least for me) among fans of the original.

The 1988 film, directed by Stephen Chiodo, follows a group of alien clowns who land on Earth with sinister plans. They invade a small California town, capturing humans to feed on their blood. Known for its wild mix of scares and laughs, the movie has built a loyal following over the years, earning a strong 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 28 reviews.

Over time, there have been several attempts to revisit the story. The Chiodo Brothers, who created the original, once planned a sequel blending new ideas with the old, set for release in 2012.

That project, Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D, was meant to feature a returning character, Mike Tobacco, now a paranoid drunk fighting the clowns’ comeback alongside younger allies.

The plan later shifted to a possible TV series, with ideas for a four-part trilogy or a longer cable show, but none took off. A video game based on the film also launched last year, getting decent reviews as a survival horror title.

Details about Gosling’s version are scarce so far. No cast, director, or release date has been announced, but the news alone has stirred up buzz for a fresh take on the cult favorite.
