‘Creature From the Black Lagoon’ Remake in the Works From James Wan


James Wan is in talks to direct a "Creature From the Black Lagoon" remake.

The project is described as a “grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror whilst paying respect to the original classic.” It’s been 70 years since the “Creature From the Black Lagoon” first graced on the big screen in the 1954 adaptation directed by Jack Arnold and starring Richard Carlson and Julia Adams. After the studio’s attempt to fashion a monster-verse flamed out with Tom Cruise’s box office disaster “The Mummy,” it opted to focus on standalone features rather than an interconnected Dark Universe. Wan is represented by CAA, Stacey Testro International, and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light.
