Universal Pictures is in early talks with Carl Erik Rinsch to direct "Creature From the Black Lagoon," a remake of the 1954 U pic about an undersea creature that terrorizes a scientific expedition.
Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman will produce with Gary Ross.
Deal would be the second big U picture for Rinsch, who will make his feature directing debut on "47 Ronin," the epic samurai swordsmen tale that takes place in 18th century Japan, and is set to star Keanu Reeves. That picture is expected to begin production next year.
