Little Shop of Horrors

Suddenly

Yes, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I Will Hear You Out On Your Little Shop of Horrors Remake

File this under remakes to not be pissed about: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is working with Warner Bros. on a possible remake of Little Shop of Horrors, which will likely feature a script written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (aka the man who saved Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), to produce and star in a new version of the cult classic.

(Fact: Plants are actually hermaphrodites, so maybe there’s nothing wrong here.) But according to a list published last month by British film geek site Total Film, Audrey 2 is a lady.

(As far as “Miss” Audrey 2 goes, six of the characters listed are not human, and three are not even “humanoid.”) The analysis goes further, and the site proclaims Total Film to be totally sexist. Ehhhh, I’m not quite ready to go there.
