Can anyone tell me why no one has tried a remake of the classic Creature from the Black Lagoon film?There have been numerous remakes and interpretations of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Invisible Man. The Mummy was a hugely successful franchise. Why no Creature? Perhaps it's just too much of an iconic creature design. Combine that with the obvious need to have much of it based underwater and perhaps you have a few answers. I hope someone does give it a try even though it would be difficult to match the beauty of the original and the mesmerizing underwater chemistry between the creature and Julie Adams
(or her stunt double).

This is my creature. He is from an alien world where water is vanishing and the big blue marble looks like a good place for a fresh start. Not a remnant from prehistoric times like the original. He does like dark lagoons though.
