The remake of Ed Wood's cult classic Plan 9 From Outer Space, directed by John Johnon, is finally coming to fruition. The starting line up for the remake is Conrad Brooks (Lieutenant Harper), Caitlin Hill (Lucy Grimm), Eric Lobo (Criswell), Monique Dupree (unknown) and John R. Price II (Inspector Clay) and the director himself will be playing Patrolman Kelton. Conrad Brooks worked with Johnon on horror movie Skeleton Key (1 and 2).
