According to a new report, Glee co-producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is in early talks to write a Little Shop of Horrors remake for Warner Bros. Variety noted that Drive producer Marc Platt is also involved. Aside from his work on Glee, Aguirre-Sacasa has also written for Big Love and wrote the script for the upcoming Carrie remake.

The Little Shop of Horrors was originally directed in 1960 by Roger Corman. A remake directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis was released in 1986. If you're curious about the original Corman film, the film is now in the public domain and we've included the full version below.
Coincidentally, we had a friend of Lyle Conway recently send us a Little Shop of Horrors photo from Cinefantastique magazine as well as photos of Aubrey models at Conway's house. We thought fans of the '86 film might be interested in checking them out [Thanks Jeff!].
