Breck Eisner Updates 'Black Lagoon' Reboot

[Dr. Briggs]

“I haven’t really been on top of it for a month,” he added. “I’ve been in Georgia making [THE CRAZIES]. But I’m hoping. We’ve been on it for two years. We’re all very excited. We came so close to going. We were in prep before the Writer’s Strike.”

Thanks, WGA. Hope those who write the wonderful "reality-show" American Idol get the millions due to them...

The look of the Creature is set, although Eisner was careful not to reveal too much. “The creature design is done. McQuarrie did the designs. It’s a combo [of CG and man-in-suit]. For close-up, [it will be] suit work, for moving shots, wide and underwater stuff its probably going to be CG. We’re still R & D’ing the CG stuff of the underwater, but it’s definitely both. Some of the underwater movement of the character can’t be done by a guy in the suit.”

WHY??!?

Trying not to disturb my cynical, grumpy mood too much, It IS good to hear that this guy apparently doesn't want to discredit the original. And, despite some fake-looking CG, the movie should look beautiful.
