It's no secret Universal want to adapt their back catalogue of monster movies into a cinematic universe akin to Marvel.

There's already a new The Mummy movie in the world and now progress is being made with The Creature from the Black Lagoon remake.

For those unfamiliar with said monster or his lagoon, the story follows a group of scientists as they hunt for fossils on a trip up the amazon river. However the group discover more than some dusty bones and soon find themselves terrorised by a half man, half fish creature who has designs on one of the female scientists of the group - with that role reportedly being offered to Scarlett Johansson.

The script is currently being rewritten by the in demand Jeff Pinker who's work slate also includes Stephen Kings The Dark Tower and he's also a part of the brain trust of writers currently working on future Transformers movies.

There's no release date as yet but when this creature rises from its lagoon we'll be sure to keep you up to date.
