The Creature From the Black Lagoon is rising once again.
James Wan, the creator of the
Sawand
The Conjuring horror franchises, is developing a new take on the classic Universal monster property and is in early talks to direct the feature project.
The move comes as Wan and his collaborators presented Universal with a pitch to remake the 1954 monster classic. A writer will now be hired to write a script, working in concert with Wan.
This is the first project Wan has attached himself to as a director following his company’s production banner, Atomic Monster, merging with Blumhouse. Wan was under water for the last few years on DC superhero movie
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and has been looking to get back to his horror roots in some way.
