Creature From The Black Lagoon is one of the Universal Monsters characters that I personally had questions about in this new era of films. As much as I love the character and the history, and as popular as the monster is, I have never been quite sure if it could still work today.
Universal is betting it can, as Deadline is reporting that James Wan is talking to the studio to direct a new film starring the Creature. This would be the first film he has directed since his Atomic Monster label merged with Blumhouse and signed a deal with Universal. The report says that his take will be 'a grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror whilst paying respect to the original classic.' Still from Creature From The Black Lagoon .
It was a huge success and spawned two sequels in 1955 and 1956. Unlike his Universal Monsters counterparts, the Creature From The Black Lagoon has not made many appearances on screen, one of the best being in Monster Squad. Universal is very protective of the character. Recently, a four-issue comics series was put out by Image/Skybound, featuring writers Dan Watters and Ram V and artist Matthew Roberts.
