Over on the Goldcrest Films website, they’ve just put up a teaser poster and info regarding a remake of The Blob.

Simon West (Con-Air, The Expendables 2, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, When a Stranger Calls) is listed as directing with Richard Saperstein and Brian Witten producing.

Of course this could just be something they’re still pooling together talent and money for, but still… it’s nice to know people are still thinking about The Blob.

Synopsis:

A terrifying reimagining of an enduring horror icon, based on the 1958 sci-fi classic that starred Steve McQueen and has thrilled genre fans since. When a band of miners uncover something hidden deep beneath the earth, they unwittingly unleash a hideous creature beyond imagination. Now the townsfolk must fight back… before it destroys everything.
