If you missed San Diego Comic-Con, then you missed the first teaser and panel to David Ferino‘s Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence.
In this first clip we meet adolescent prodigy, and genius CEO of VegIntel, inventor of “MyTomato,” the vegetable which will solve all our problems, particularly those that A.I. can’t fix.
The fifth movie in the 47-year old franchise is “pitting the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.”
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.
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, Joshua Poon.
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.
