Warner Bros. has lined up David Bruckner to direct its reimagining of the iconic sci-fi horror The Blob. According to The Wrap, the filmmaker, whose previous genre titles include The Ritual, The Night House, and Hellraiser, will also pen the script to the modern take on the cult monster movie.
While plot details remain firmly under wraps, the new outing will presumably take inspiration from Irvin Yeaworth's 1958 film, which marked Steve McQueen's first leading role, and its 1988 remake. Both center on the residents of rural Pennsylvania and the unusual alien lifeform wreaking havoc in their communities.
