As a long-time fan of horror movies, especially those from Universal Studios, I am thrilled to hear that the “Creature from the Black Lagoon” is getting a remake! The news that Sean Tretta will be writing the script for this project is music to my ears. With his impressive resume, having worked on shows like 12 Monkeys and Mayans MC, I have no doubt that he will bring a fresh yet respectful take on this classic monster tale.

A new screenwriter has been chosen for the remake of the timeless Universal monster film, “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” This is according to recent reports by Deadline.

Who is The Creature From the Black Lagoon reboot’s writer?

According to Deadline, it’s been announced that Sean Tretta will be penning the upcoming reboot. Tretta is renowned for his work on the Syfy series 12 Monkeys and has also penned scripts for FX’s Mayans MC, a spin-off from the original Sons of Anarchy series.

As per Deadline’s article, the script for The Creature From the Black Lagoon will be developed from a treatment created by James Wan, Rafael Jordan, and Bryan Coyne. Moreover, Wan is reportedly in negotiations to direct this project, which aims to offer a contemporary, grounded version of the story while emphasizing visceral horror and honoring the original classic.

First released in 1954, Jack Arnold directed the movie titled “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” This classic film featured Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, Nestor Paiva, Whit Bissell, Ben Chapman, and Ricou Browning. The plot revolves around a team of researchers encountering and investigating the mysterious creature found in a dark lagoon.

1954’s film tells the story of some enigmatic creature remains discovered in a secluded jungle, leading a team of scientists to investigate if it’s a unique occurrence or proof of an undiscovered beast lurking in the wild. To uncover the truth, these researchers must navigate the deadliest terrains South America has to offer. However, the treacherous landscape pales in comparison to the threat posed by a supernatural entity that jeopardizes their mission and lives.
