Creature Of Habbit

The LA Times says commercial director Carl Rinsch is in early talks to calll action on the remake of the 1954 monster movie classic "Creature from the Black Lagoon."



The original followed an undersea creature that terrorizes a scientific expedition.

Gary Ross penned the script for the new version.

Before that film happens though Rinsch will make his feature directing debut on epic period piece "47 Ronin" starring Keanu Reeves.

Rinsch was briefly in line to direct an ""Alien" prequel that Ridley Scott decided to helm.
