If you're a fan of cult 1986 musical Little Shop of Horrors, you'll know that the highlight of the movie was Steve Martin's sadistic dentists Orin Scrivello (DDS), and now Chris Evans is in negotiations to play the same role in the upcoming remake.
Greg Berlanti is directing the project, which also has Scarlett Johansson and Taron Egerton circling the lead roles.
Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of Seymour, "a meek florist who works at the aptly named Skid Row Florists, where he is under the thumb of the owner, Mr. Mushnik, but where he also is secretly in love with Audrey, who also works at the struggling shop. Seymour becomes a celebrity when discovers a venus flytrap-looking plant he dubs Audrey II, but his life becomes disastrously complicated when the plant demands to be fed human blood, and then eventually people themselves."
If Evans signs on he'll rejoin MCU costar Johansson, who is set to play Audrey. Egerton is in line to portray Seymour, and Billy Porter will provide the voice of the man-eating plant.
