James Wan to Direct Reboot of Classic 'Creature From the Black Lagoon'

The horror maestro aims to modernize the 1954 classic with a grounded and visceral retelling.

Wan is in early talks to direct and produce the remake under his Atomic Monster banner.
The project seeks to respect the original while introducing modern horror elements.
A screenwriter has yet to be hired and no casting decisions have been made.
This marks Wan's return to horror after his work on the 'Aquaman' films.
Previous reboot attempts by notable directors have failed to materialize.
