Carl Erik Rinsch In Talks To Remake Creature From The Black Lagoon

Crazies director Breck Eisner was originally attached to direct a script by Gary Ross, whose father, Arthur A. Ross, co-wrote the original.  Ross is still producing, and it is unclear if his previous draft will be rewritten or thrown out. When Eisner was attached to the project, the plan was to release a PG-13 rated remake with “a dark adventure tone” in 3D.

Rinsch is first expected to go into production on 47 Ronin next year, but the box office sucess of 22 might have the ability to fasttrack this project into production. This project sounds like it could play a lot more toward Rinsch’s strengths than 47 Ronin.
