David Bruckner to Direct New Remake of 'The Blob'

The horror filmmaker, known for his work on 'Hellraiser', takes on another classic, with David Goyer and Keith Levine producing.

David Bruckner, known for his work on the 2022 'Hellraiser' film, is set to write and direct a new remake of the classic horror film 'The Blob' for Warner Bros.
The original 'The Blob' film, released in 1958, followed a carnivorous alien entity consuming a small town and has been remade twice before, in 1972 and 1988.
David Goyer and Keith Levine of Phantom Four will produce the new version, with Judith Harris, widow of the late Jack Harris who produced both the 1958 and 1988 versions, serving as executive producer.
Details about the plot and other aspects of the project are currently undisclosed, but speculation has emerged about potential modernization of the concept and the possible involvement of Tom Cruise.
Bruckner's previous works include 'The Signal', the 'V/H/S' franchise, 'The Night House', and the well-received reimagining of 'Hellraiser' in 2022.
