The story centers on killer plants that show up in the wake of a meteor shower. Blinded (by the immense meteor shower) humans are then attacked at a staggering rate. Sekely’s original take is a goofy-but-enjoyable flick that apparently still garners enough interest to launch a fourth reboot. I personally have yet to see either British version.

Don Murphy and Michael Preger will produce the film. Preger, who produced John Carpenter’s Village of the Damned, which is itself a Wyndham adaptation, has owned the rights to Triffids for some 20 years now. Both he and Murphy have planned the making of this film since the 90’s; the film will finally meet production as Preger now feels technology has advanced enough to do the film justice. “We are confident that with the new technological advances in 3-D production, we have the tools with which to create Wyndham’s iconic vision of Armageddon.” states Preger. “This original classic has still to be successfully envisioned on the screen. It is a story that strikes at the heart of what it means to be human—and does so in an intensely cinematic way.”Adds Murphy.
