Universal’s Creature from the Black Lagoon has found a new mate in director Carl Eric Rinsch.
The L.A. Times reports commercial helmer Rinsch (and one time contender for the Alien prequel) has been tapped to direct the long-gestating remake.
Gary Ross penned the script, but Universal is starting over in the story stage.
Meanwhile, the man who was supposed to bring the Creature back to life, Breck Eisner, is moving on to The Brood remake.
