The tomatoes have gone naval. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence is back, and this time, it’s docking aboard the USS Midway Museum!
“Expect cult-classic mayhem, fresh splatstick, a new generation of characters, and tomatoes with way too much confidence,” hypes the release that comes with a first-look trailer and event details for a special one-night-only fan screening on February 20.
The one-night experience brings fans aboard the historic aircraft carrier for an early screening, with proceeds benefiting veteran programs through the USS Midway Foundation.
The fifth movie in the 47-year-old franchise is “pitting the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.”
Here’s the first trailer with Anchor Bay releasing the long-awaited sequel later this year.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence stars David Koechner, John Astin, Dan Bakkedahl, Daniel Roebuck, Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier, Return to Nuke ’Em High), Paul Bates, Vernee Watson, Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, Myrna Velasco, Noor Razooky, Zachary Roozen, and Joshua Poon.
The original movie was released in 1978. Made for $100,000, it was produced by J. Stephen Peace and John DeBello. DeBello directed the pic based on an original idea by Costa Dillon in a story about mutated killer tomatoes that torment the globe as a group of scientists try to fend them off. The Attack of the Tomatoes franchise spawned three sequels (Return of the Killer Tomatoes, Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and Killer Tomatoes Eat France) along with the Fox Network’s Attack of the Killer Tomatoes animated TV series in the early 1990s.
W. Finletter Films and Killer Tomatoes Entertainment partnered with Atomic Toybox Entertainment (Michael Polis) and IVC/Olas Media (Chad Peace, Juan Hernandez and Anthony Aslofi) to oversee production with Polis and Roger M. Mayer producing. Anchor Bay Entertainment is releasing the pic theatrically.
