Golly gee, Batman, it's been years since I've seen the original The Blob -- the film that basically featured a giant ball of man-eating slime making a movie star out of Steve McQueen. I did get the chance to see the 1988 remake when it played theatrically, and I really wasn't all that impressed.
Well, it looks like that lumbering dome of phlegm will be making another bid for the Academy Award as this morning Deadline reports that Goldcrest Films are going back to the well for another take on the seminal story of alien invasion. I suspect today's special effects will make for a greater thrill ride than what's been done previously, but otherwise this seems like the kind of flick that'll come and go quickly from the marketplace.
