Darren Higham's remake project of "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" (TCFTBL) rises up from the depths of the Amazon as this week's Celtx Project of the Week!!
Based on Jack Arnold's original, Darren's concept of TCFTBL is "an action/adventure/horror remake/reimagining of the classic movie of the same name. A group of scientists researching legends of a deadly fishman in a lake in the middle of the Amazon rain forest must fight for survival when they discover to their horror that the creature is not just a legend, but is indeed very real."
In Higham's attempt to breathe new life into this beast from the past, he has taken a very organized approach in developing his project and has used Celtx extensively in the planning stage for research, preparing his treatment and synopsis and for character development. He's also referenced the website of the "reel Gillman", Ben Chapman, which features a great trailer of the original, along with some other fun trivia related to the 1954 production.
At the moment this is just a personal project for Darren, as he recently told us that he started it to help improve his skills as a script writer, and works on it from home in his spare time. He's not certain what the plan is once completed, but said he may pursue it further if he feels that it is worth it.
In the meantime Darren, have fun with it, and we look forward to seeing how your 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' emerges from the depths of Celtx Project Central.
Congratulations!!
Sheila and the C-Team
