Creature From The Black Lagoon Remake Gets A Writer


Watch Grave Encounters 2 Online. Writer Dave Kajganich has become a bit of a specialist when it comes to remakes, particularly in the horror genre. The scribe began his Hollywood career in 2007 when he wrote the script for the Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake titled The Invasion (with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman), and he has since been attached to updated versions of three Stephen King books: It, Pet Sematary and The Stand. Watch Sinister Online. And now it appears he'll be taking on one of the classic Universal monsters.

Despite the fact that the 2010 remake of The Wolfman didn't exactly go as planned, the studio is now planning a remake of The Creature From The Black Lagoon and according to THR Kajganich has been brought on to pen the script. Watch Middle of Nowhere Online. While there were earlier reports that said filmmaker Carl Rinsch would be directing the new movie, apparently that's no longer the case (perhaps it has something do to with the drama surrounding 47 Ronin?)

Watch Smashed Online. While there aren't any plot details about the new film yet, the original was about an amphibious monster who lives "in a remote Amazonian river" and the scientists who wish to study him. Watch Taken 2 Online. There is no director currently attached, and while the project has been in development since the early 80s (holy shit) Kajhanich will reportedly be working from a clean slate.

The writer's only other previous credit is the 2009 Joel Schumacher film Blood Creek, starring Henry Cavill, Dominic Purcell, Michael Fassbender and Emma Booth. Download Taken 2 Movie. He also wrote the adaptation of the Michael Finkel memoir True Story, to which James Franco and Jonah Hill are currently attached to star.

Both Kevin James and Henry Winkler have been big parts of Adam Sandler's production label Happy Madison for years now. Watch Hotel Transylvania Online. Separately they've both been in a number of projects that company has made, including The Waterboy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Click, Grown Ups, and Little Nicky, and they actually both appeared in You Don't Mess With The Zohan. But never before have the two had the chance to work together in a movie that Sandler himself wasn't in...that is until this weekend.
