The Invisible Man was so successful that we’re seeing many Universal Monster movies being rebooted. What’s next? well, Creepshow’s showrunner Greg Nicotero is hoping to get together with Robert Rodriguez in hopes of rebooting Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Nicotero revealed to ComicBook.com:
“I think for any creature, monster kid, Creature from the Black Lagoon is the quintessential monster movie. I think Robert Rodriguez and I always talk about like, ‘Hey, man. Maybe we should co-direct a Creature from the Black Lagoon movie,’ because he and I have identical tastes. We love Jaws. We love The Thing. We love Escape from New York and Blade Runner. We toy with the idea of like, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we remade Creature from the Black Lagoon?’ And I know they’ve been trying to do it forever, but, for me, that’s the quintessential Universal Monster movie.”
Nicotero added:
“I’m always curious because I feel like one of the reasons why Walking Dead became the show that it became was because Frank Darabont entered that universe with respect. He loved Night of the Living Dead and he wanted to pay tribute to the [George A.] Romero universe. I remember talking to Frank years before Walking Dead ever even happened and saying, ‘Man, I would just love to visit that universe because I love the idea of there being a survival story set in that world.'”
