John Johnson is the director of the film . When he first announced that they would be remaking Plan 9 here is the statement they released:

Simply titled “Plan 9, the remake will be a serious-minded retelling of the original story, paying homage to the spirit of Wood’s film without resorting to camp or parody. The film will focus on the horror and science fiction aspects of the original, but will also be largely character-driven. Johnson’s goal for “Plan 9 is to make a film that honors not only the original source material, but also Ed Wood’s intentions when he made “Plan 9 From Outer Space”. Wood’s plan was to make a very scary sci-fi/horror film, and Johnson wishes to do exactly that – create a film that Wood would have enjoyed, or perhaps even made himself, if not bound by the technological limitations placed on filmmakers 50 years ago.

The Director John Johnson is going to have a live chat feed at 8pm on Sunday, September 13, 2009 Eastern Standard Time to answer questions and discuss the film and teaser trailer. It will be held here.. http://www.blogtv.com/People/darkstoneent
