James Gunn posted on Instagram that he pitched a Creature from the Black Lagoon film, yet was turned down. The first 1954 Universal beast blood and gore movie is a work of art. It’s anything but an odd creature that covers itself inside the Amazonian wilderness. A gathering of individuals head into its region to contain the creature for research purposes. The exemplary proceeded to motivate two continuations named Revenge of the Creature in 1955 and The Creature Walks Among Us in 1956.
ComicBook.com highlighted Gunn’s Instagram story, where he posted that he was returning from set and was able to address any fan questions. In the wake of being asked which Universal beast film he would redo, he reacted Creature from the Black Lagoon. He said that he pitched it in the wake of chipping away at the 2004 redo of Dawn of the Dead. Look at Gunn’s reaction beneath:
While Gunn posted about the pitch that was dismissed, he didn’t broadly expound on what his thought was or why they had turned it down. Be that as it may, he isn’t quick to communicate interest in turning into a piece of such an undertaking. Universal is pushing ahead with a few current variations of the exemplary film beasts, including Chloe Zhao’s (Nomadland) Dracula. The 2020 Invisible Man set a high bar for the rest to follow.
Since Universal has been looking at an approach to bring the Universal film beasts into present day times for a long time, it is conceivable that they had something different being developed when Gunn made his pitch. Falling off a high with his Dawn of the Dead revamp positively would have put forth a decent defense to listen to him. With Gunn putting his name out there, it is conceivable that Universal could think about him for a comparable task later on. Up to that point, crowds should keep a watch out how the studio chooses to manage Creature from the Black Lagoon. For the present, there is by all accounts to a greater degree a need on a portion of the other film beasts.
