The Creature From the Black Lagoon
In a recent interview with Comic Book, Greg Nicotero revealed he and Robert Rodriguez frequently toy with the idea of making a Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot together.
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, Wouldnt it be cool if we remade Creature from the Black Lagoon? And I know theyve been trying to do it forever, but, for me, thats the quintessential Universal Monster movie.
G/O Media may get a commission
