Early Design For ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ Remake

Published

on

A little fun “what if?” appeared over at SYTD this morning as they shared the above pictured maquette from the now defunct Creature from the Black Lagoon remake, which once has The Crazies‘ Breck Eisner attached to direct.

The site explains that they had previously seen what Spectral Motion had in mind for Creature from the Black Lagoon and that this maquette, on display at the Creature Features in Burbank, is what was once in the works (although not necessarily what would have been used).

Milicent Patrick created the look for the 1954 classic about a strange prehistoric beast that lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. In the original, a group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study.

Eisner is no longer attached and the movie isn’t currently in development anymore.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]

Published

Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.

Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance. 

An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.

In the film,Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.” 

It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.

Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.

Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.

I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,said Walker.I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.

Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
