Update on the Creature from the Black Lagoon remake
It seems like once a year we get an update on the possible remake to the last Universal Monster that was created originally in the 1950s, in the Creature from the Black Lagoon. And here’s that time of year. Producer Marc Abraham talked to Bloody-Disgusting about it:
“We’ve gone through a bunch of different incarnations of scripts, and none that me and my partner were satisfied with. Gary Ross is involved with us as a producer [along with] his wife, Allison [Thomas]. None of us have been satisfied. I think we have a really cool take on the movie now – [a] much hipper, [more] interesting version of it, and we’re looking for a new writer who’s after that. And, in fact, I just had breakfast and I was writing down my notes about it, about how I think it should go. I think we have a really cool take on it. Still set in South America, really a more ‘not-a-guy-in-a-rubber-suit’…[it's a] much more psychological transformation, more literary transformation. I think a really interesting idea.”
Uh…I don’t know. It doesn’t sound riveting at all. CGI? “Psychological transformation”? Whatcha think?

Possible big groan combined with yawn.
CGI why?
Psychological? Well, not that deep.
We are all just big green creatures
fighting to protect what we think is ours,
and falling for hot girls.
Maybe we shouldn’t overthink it.
I remember back in the early 90′s there was talk of John Carpenter remaking CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
