Latest updates on Creature From The Black Lagoon

Creature From The Black Lagoon Updated :

Thursday 20th October 2005: Movie News: Creature From the Black Lagoon: Item Posted by: Gary Gray: Director Breck Eisner has signed on to helm Creature From The Black Lagoon for Universal. The script has been written by Gary Ross and it is thought that the movie will considerably update the original that introduced to the cinema Gill Man who terrorized archaeologists in the Amazon. Here's hoping they handle this Universal monster better than Stephen Sommers did with Van Helsing, where he summararily trashed the legend of many classic characters.

Wednesday 27th July 2005: Movie News: Creature From The Black Lagoon: Item Posted by: Gary Gray: Director Ron Howard has revealed in an interview that Bill Paxton has been signed on to star in Universal's remake of Creature From The Black Lagoon. No other word, but no doubt details will start to seep in soon.

24th April 2003: Creature From The Black Lagoon Update:
Guillermo Del Toro has revealed that he is no longer interested in remaking Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Wednesday 23rd April 2003: Creature From The Black Lagoon Update:
Guillermo Del Toro has just written the following online about Creature from the Black Lagoon "I want to set the story in Victorian times during the exploration of the Amazon. The original Creature was essentially King Kong, but I want to make it more a 'beauty and the beast' fable. I want the look and feel to be akin
to Jules Verne's tales like 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. I want to
increase the horror edge and make it really scary, because my
archaeological explorers will discover an area of the Amazon that has been
kept on a tangential track of evolution alongside mankind. So there will be
giant carnivorous squid, prehistoric sharks and weird alternate lifeforms
that shouldn't really exist in such a fresh-water environment. Fish do
truly have either an angelic or devilish quality, and I want to play on
that. The Creature will be the Man of this exotic world," del Toro
explains. "He will be very smart and able to turn the tables on his human
hunters. I have a scene where the hunters find fossil remains and realize
that the Creature's brain cavity is larger than a human one. He's not the
lumbering, roaring monster of Ricou Browning's day, but a sophisticated
Gill Man that will come to life through a mix of CGI and a man in a suit.
In the original film, the Creature falls in love with the Julie Adams
character. The twist in my version is that the girl will also fall in love
with him. I want her to almost get it on with the Creature!"

Wednesday 12th March 2003: The Creature From The Black Lagoon Update:

Black Lagoon for producer Gary Ross' Universal-based Larger Than Life
company. Ross' father, Arthur Ross, penned the script of the original 1954
creature feature.

Wednesday 4th December 2002: Creature From The Black Lagoon Update:
Director Guillermo Del Toro has been talking about his in development Creature From The Black Lagoon movie "I'll be given carte blanche to develop the story, although I will bring in another writer. I want to set the story in Victorian times during the exploration of the Amazon. The original Creature was essentially King Kong, but I want to make it more a 'beauty and the beast' fable. I want the look and feel to be akin to Jules Verne’s tales like 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. I want to increase the horror edge and make it really scary, because my archaeological explorers will discover an area of the Amazon that has been kept on a tangential track of evolution alongside mankind. So there will be giant carnivorous squid, prehistoric sharks and weird alternate lifeforms that shouldn't really exist in such a fresh-water environment. Fish do truly have either an angelic or devilish quality, and I want to play on that."
