Director Shuffle On Some Horror Remakes

Oh, these pesky, horror remakes and the people who have to direct them.  For some time, Breck Eisner (SAHARA) was attached to direct the long-gestating CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON remake.  He then moved on, instead taking on the upcoming remake of Romero’s THE CRAZIES.  Now, according to the LA Times, Carl Rinsch, the man who is set to direct 47 RONIN, is taking on the CREATURE project.

Eisner, meanwhile, has just been tapped to direct the remake of David Cronenberg’s 1979 film, THE BROOD.  The film, with the new screenplay being written by PRIEST screenwriter Cory Goodman, centers on a woman who has a telepathic link to her murderous children.

What do you think of these choices?  Are these films worth remaking at all?  Are these the right choices for director on each?  What would have been your thoughts had Peter Jackson ever gotten his vision of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON off the ground?  Let us know by shooting us a comment in the section below.
