Adam Green wants you to eat some Killer Pizza

Instead of remaking 80′s classics like The Monster Squad and The Goonies, how about making a film that takes the fun spirit of both of them and reinvents that fun for a new audience. This looks to be the case for Adam Green’s next film, Killer Pizza. Here is what he had to say to BD:

“Killer Pizza is gonna feel like one of those old Amblin movies a little bit. It’s part Goonies, part Monster Squad.” It’s the coolest shit ever, and I’m so excited because I’ve been holding out on a studio job for a long time. Because everything I get called in for I don’t really like or it’s a remake. And then to be working with Chris Columbus on something that is exactly what I wanted to do, it’s amazing…I’m actually more excited about than that than probably anything ever.”

“We’re aiming for PG-13, because it’s not about gore or violence, it’s about the stuff that guys like you and me grew up with. They just don’t do it anymore. You ask anybody, what’s your favorite movie? So many people say The Goonies or Monster Squad but why don’t they make it anymore. I think Chris is trying to bring it back around again and I’m just lucky as hell that I’m the one that he picked.”

“KILLER PIZZA, which is based on the young-adult novel by Greg Taylor, is an action-packed, coming-of-age comedy about a 14-year-old boy who lands a summer job at Killer Pizza — where such pies as the Monstrosity and the Frankensausage are on the menu — but quickly learns it’s a front for a monster-hunting organization.”
