New ‘The Blob’ Sales Art Channels ‘Alien’

Published

on

The re-remake of The Blob has been all over the place and nobody is speaking up with any real details as to what’s going on.

Now, Arclight Films apparently is handling some of the pre-sales of the film and has some new sales art to prove it. Only, their art says it stars Samuel L. Jackson, while Swengroup’s sales page says we’ll see Halle Berry starring. Nobody knows the fate of Jackson or how “locked” Berry is. All that’s certain is that Simon West is still attached to direct as of this writing.

Based on the 1958 sci-fi classic that starred Steve McQueen, they’re billing this version as a terrifying “reimagining” of an enduring horror icon.

When a band of miners uncover something hidden deep beneath the earth they unwittingly unleash a hideous creature beyond imagination. Now the townsfolk must fightback, before it destroys everything.

A 1972 sequel, Beware! The Blob, was helmed by Larry Hagman, and in 1988, Chuck Russell directed Kevin Dillon in a remake of the original.

“With modern CGI we can now fully realize the potential of The Blob,” West said back in 2015. “The world I create will be totally believable, immersive and emotionally satisfying. It’s a thrill to introduce an enduring icon to a wider audience and a whole new era of fans.”

Harkening back to the 80s remake (pictured above), here’s a really cool piece of sales art, also shared by Swengroup.
