Horror 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'

[Eddie Dean]

Now they want to make The Gill-Man a Gill-Woman? Not my Creature from the Black Lagoon!

 

[zeroapoc]

That wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

But will they change his skin color?

 

[Doctor Jones]

... I think she's playing the human female lead.

 

[Eddie Dean]

That's what they want you to think Doctor Jones. We all known what's really going on here, Hollywood liberals ruining our beloved franchises!

 

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, Roger.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I thought The Mummy reboot was supposed to be the next film in the "Monsters" universe.

 

[terry78]

In the tradition of Wolfman having nards, now we can ask the eternal question, "does Gill-Woman have ****?

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

That's the real question Detective Spooner.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

That's what they want you to think Doctor Jones. We all known what's really going on here, Hollywood liberals ruining our beloved franchises!

Damn P.C. Liberal commies...What's next? I bet they're going to change Black Panther's skin color in the movie version, from white to black. Hurry, call Fox News!!!

I think the Creature has a lot of potential for a new film. I'd like to see a sort of remake of the first and third movie, where the Creature does his (or her) thing, then is captured like King Kong, and then tried to be domesticated, but of course, it doesn't work out.

Universal probably noticed that the Gillman is the only creature they actually own.

 

[Doctor Jones]

This always struck me as Alien meets King Kong. With some Lovecraft thrown in for good measure.

Next one up in the Monsters universe. http://deadline.com/2017/03/creatur...-beall-aquaman-universal-pictures-1202057300/

Universal Pictures has set Will Beall to write The Creature From The Black Lagoon, from an idea Beall had to revive the classic 1954 film as part of the studio’s classic monsters franchise. Beall just scripted another underwater event movie, Aquaman, which James Wan is directing with Jason Momoa in the title role for Warner Bros and DC. Beall also exec produced Training Day, the CBS series transplant of the hit movie.

Creature has long been under development at the studio, going back to when it was shepherded by Gary Ross, whose father co-wrote the original. That horror classic focused on a group of scientists on an expedition through the Amazon who discover a human-fish hybrid. Julie Adams played the leading female role of Kay Lawrence, and her portrayal helped define the scream queen genre. There are several roles that will likely draw big stars. CAA and Management 360 rep Beall.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Poor Will Beall.

Somehow, somewhere, he's still locked in room writing Justice League.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if they'll still go for the human bae thing

 

[Rowsdower!]

The Creature from the Black Lagoon always feels like the forgotten child of the Universal Monsters brand. I'd love to see this happen because who knows when we'll get to see Swamp Thing in that Dark Universe movie. So I'll settle for this.

 

[Doctor Jones]

This is one of the most interesting ones. It's Alien meets King Kong. Add some Lovecraftian horror in there for good measure. There's so much potential with this movie where the remake can actually be better than the original.

But that probably won't happen. This will just be a modern action movie.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Looking forward to this. I just hope they don't make the creature a female.

 

[Doctor Jones]

What difference does it make? It's an amphibious creature.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

What difference does it make? It's an amphibious creature.

It makes a huge difference. Look at the new Mummy. For me, it doesn't have the same affect that the original Mummy had.

 

[Sithborg]

In theory, you shouldn't be able to tell the creature's sex.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

This thread is fascinating. I couldn't get into the old movie, but I'm enjoying this thread and its progression.

In theory, you shouldn't be able to tell the creature's sex.

So they might make it a lesbian in this movie?

 

[Loki882]

Honestly except for the whole "kidnapping a pretty woman" thing, you probably would struggle to tell for sure what the original creature's sex was. And these days, the idea that *gasp* a woman can in fact be attracted to another woman, is much more easy to buy when it comes to films by many people.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I saw the creature's dinkie.
