Sam Raimi is interested in directing a new adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel The Day of the Triffids, Deadline reports. Mandate Pictures won an auction for the rights to the book, about a meteorite storm that leaves the majority of the population blind and vulnerable to an army of ambulatory, man-eating plants. Mandate will produce the film in conjunction with Raimi, who has expressed interest in helming the project.

Great story although I see this being a Tim Burton type movie.
Hopefully, Raimi will get to make a serious, R-rated version?

This sounds like it would end up being a shot for shot remake of The Hangover. What’s the point?

OK, if we believed everything we hear about what Sam Raimi MIGHT be directing, the man would do nothing from now until he drops dead on a set but direct mediocre films. Let him direct some films well, and leave something for someone else to work on.

Gee, another re-make. That is really news. It appears that all the good writers were eaten by man-eating plants.

There’s so many other good books that were never made into movies. Why not pick one of them?
