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.

“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.

Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.

As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.

While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”

It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.

Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.

Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.

Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
