The first teaser trailer for “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence” has finally been revealed, offering fans a wild first look at the next chapter in the cult comedy franchise. Premiering during a packed panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the clip introduces audiences to a new twist on tomato terror that blends artificial intelligence with genetically engineered food.
At the center of the teaser is Kate Patel, a teenage tech prodigy and CEO of biotech giant VegIntel. Patel is the inventor of MyTomato, a smart, modified tomato designed to solve humanityâs biggest challengesâespecially the ones A.I. canât. But when technology overreaches and nature pushes back, the stage is set for a juicy rebellion thatâs as ridiculous as it is timely.
