Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space, widely considered the worst movie ever made, is getting a celebrated theatrical re-release, only this time, it's in 3D. And why not? Plan 9 will be in select theaters later this summer, and available on-demand in stereoscopic vision, and I'm sure it will eventually make its way to DVD and Netflix, et.al. The film was restored and colorized by Legend Films in 2006.
Wood made his magnum opus for under $60,000; applying the 3D effect to the film is going to cost far more than that! San Diego's PassmoreLab is handling the production. PassmoreLab applied the 3D treatment to George Romero's horror classic, Night of the Living Dead, last year.
