Universal has a new monster movie in development called
Don't Go in The Water, and Stephen Williams, who most recently helmed a couple of episodes of HBO’s
Watchmen, has signed on to direct. Plot details are under wraps, but the project is described as a "suspenseful monster movie."
Variety's report mentions that it's an original premise from writer Peter Gaffney, but it sounds to us like it
might be a remake, or at least be inspired by,
Creature from The Black Lagoon. That's pure speculation, but we do know that Universal is planning to revisit more of its classic monsters after the success of
The Invisible Man - even though they will no longer be connected as part of a shared "dark universe."
