Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
A new trend may be bubbling up from the B-movie sewers like so much radioactive space goo as Deadline reports that Simon West, director of Con Air, The Expendables 2, and the upcoming Statham-goes-to Vegas movie Wild Card, is planning a remake of The Blob. This would be the third time the universal human fear of stuff you wipe off of your shoes growing to enormous size and killing people has been dramatized for the big screen—the first The Blob, featuring a young Steve McQueen, was a hit in 1958, and the second one, co-written by a young Frank Darabont, was less of a hit in 1988. This is the first The Blob, however, to potentially feature Nicolas Cage emptying a machine gun into the gelatinous creature while riding a motorcycle.
