Creature from the Black Lagoon Remake (2011)
 

Strike Entertainment, Larger than Life Productions and Universal Pictures are all financing a remake of Jack Arnold's 1954 classic, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Breck Eisner (of 2005's Sahara) is said to direct. Gary Ross of 1988's Big is said to be writing. No word on casting as of today, but that may change soon. But in my opinion this is a bad idea. The guy who directed Sahara, and the guy who wrote Big remaking a horror flick? Leave it alone! I enjoyed it, and I'm pretty sure other people will too, if they actually give it a chance.

The original is a classic and they really need to leave it alone...

Re: Creature from the Black Lagoon
 

A lot of movies are classic in their own right. This, probably like every other remake coming out as of late, is probably just some attempt at bringing in money for the studio and that's it. It won't hold any classical value whatsoever.

The Creature trilogy is my favorite of the classic Universal monster movies (even though I love them all). I don't know how I feel about this remake, but I'm certain it's not going to be as good as the original. I'm interested to see what they do and how the creature will look, though.

Also... isn't that pic from Monster Squad?

Re: Creature from the Black Lagoon
 

Yeah, because the rest I found on google was either too big or too small. Plus it's the same monster as any of the 'creature' movies, so eh I aint worried about it.

Hey ya never know, it may turn out well. I mean just look at the Dawn Of The Dead remake, except I think more highly of Zack Snyder than Breck Eisner. Hopefully it'll turn out like Dawn Of The Dead, but honestly, I don't see that happening.

Actually, even though I have a sorta "kid's love" for the '50s Creature flicks, none of them are any good, so I would hope that someone could at least remake the first one without an ounce of cynicism. :up:

Re: Creature from the Black Lagoon
 

A good idea if you ask me. This movie does need a remake, because it's classic icon would be rebooted highly. The only thing though, is that I hope they don't make it modern time themed, but like the time era the original was in.

Re: Creature from the Black Lagoon
 

i wouldn't mind seeing it. Hell it will be free if i do. Got a gift card. :yup:

'Tis bittersweet for me: I love the orig', but I love it so much that I want to see more - yup! ;)
