CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Remake Really Up and Running'!

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...

That’s the rumor, anyway, and once again, Gary Ross appears to be the man writing the film. Makes sense. His father, Arthur A. Ross, was one of the writers who created the Gill Man in the first place. I remember talking to Gary Ross about this film as far back as the fall of ’91, asking him about what he’d do with it. I also remember talking to Guillermo Del Toro at one point, and he pitched his entire take on the film to me. It’s heartbreaking that his version didn’t happen, because it would have been one of the craziest, sweatiest, freakiest updates of a Universal Monster ever.

As it stands now, the rumor has Brett Ratner stepping in to direct this, which I guess means that the earliest they could start filming would be next summer after X3 hits theaters.

CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL STORY!!

And thanks to everyone who gave us the heads-up.

"Moriarty" out.
