Eisner To Direct THE BROOD Remake

Breck Eisner who directed THE CRAZIES remake was supposed to also helm the remake of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON but he left the project and Universal recently gave the job to Carl Rinsch. But Eisner loves remakes, so this bump on the road doesn’t stop him from looking for other possible gigs like THE BROOD for example…

LA Times reported that Eisner is currently attached to direct the new take on the classic horror by director David Cronenberg. The project is housed at Spyglass Entertainment and the script is written by Cory Goodman.
The original 1979 version, I dare you to watch it, was about “a man who tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist’s therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, while a series of brutal attacks committed by a brood of mutant children coincides with the husband’s investigation” starring the late Oliver Reed.

What I want to know is what’s been happening to that long overdue FLASH GORDON movie that Breck Eisner has always wanted to make?

Here’s the old trailer for THE BROOD
