This canceled production is bad news for Taron Egerton and everyone who thirsts after him
In a recent interview, Taron Egerton confirmed that the Little Shop of Horrors remake is no longer happening. Egerton was going to star alongside Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson in a modern reimagining of the camp classic.1986’s Little Shop of Horrors was a movie-musical directed by puppeteer Frank Oz (voice of Yoda) and featured music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman (both of whom would go on to compose classic scores for the 90s Disney Renaissance).
It follows Seymour (Rick Moranis), a down-on-his-luck florist hoping to woo his longtime love Audrey away from her sadistic dentist boyfriend.
When he becomes the owner of an unusual plant (which he names Audrey II), he finds his florist shop is suddenly the talk of the town.
The only problem is that Audrey II needs human blood to survive.Egerton would have played Seymour, with Johansson playing Audrey and Evans playing the dentist.
