Simon West will be directing classic horror 'The Blob's' remake, it has been reported.
Goldcrest Films will co-produce an update of 1958 horror/sci-fi classic, along with Korea's Taewon Entertainment and A-List Corporation, Deadline.com reported.
The original film, which was released by Paramount, starred a young Steve McQueen. The story sees a gelatinous alien life-form emerge from a crashed meteor and begin to ooze through Downingtown, PA, eating the townsfolk as it goes.
Pascal Degove, Managing Director of Goldcrest, said that Simon West has a unique gift for blending cutting edge effects, awesome visual spectacle and a hint of humor, so he's the perfect choice to reimagine 'The Blob.
