Will the Creature breath again...

Shocktillyoudrop.com spoke with director Breck Eisner recently, and one of the topics discussed was why he left the long delayed remake of Creature from the Black Lagoon, which is now in the hands of Carl Rinsch...

"A couple of things happened," He tells the site, "The writers strike just killed us. We didn't get the script in on time. And like I told you, I had gone down and done location scouting. Because the strike hit, we couldn't finish the script. Rightfully so, they decided to shelve it until once the dust settled. But when it did I was off doing another movie. That's the way these things go. Hopefully, for Flash Gordon, that won't happen."

Shock reports that Universal and Rinsch have started from scratch on the Creature project, so we'll have to see where it goes from here...
