According to birthmoviesdeath, Taron Egerton has entered negotiations to star in a Little Shop of Horrors remake, most likely for the role of Seymour Krelborn, the flower shop employee who encounters a man-eating Venus flytrap.
The Little Shop of Horrors started out as a sci-fi movie in 1960, before becoming an off-Broadway musical. Subsequently, the musical was adapted for the big screen, which resulted in the 1986 cult classic, directed by Frank Oz, starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and Steve Martin. A few years ago, there were rumours abound that Warner Bros. was working on a remake, but nothing more has been said about it until now.
It was also mentioned that Billy Porter, who is a well-known name in the world of musical theatre, is being considered for the voice of the Venus flytrap, with Scarlett Johansson in the running for Audrey, Seymour’s colleague and love interest.
Egerton, who rose to fame after his stint in The Kingsman series, seems to be a good choice for the role. He can sing and has delivered solid musical performances in movies like Sing and Rocketman. It remains to be seen if he will get the role, and we will keep you posted on any updates on the remake, as and when the tidbits emerge.
