“Creature from the Black Lagoon” Reboot Designs by Miles Teves!

There have been several attempts to revive The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  (And I wish someone would get it done!)  John Carpenter was involved with a reboot for a while, but that project never crossed the finish line.

What we see here today is concept art created by Miles Teves.  Teves has worked in film/television as a concept artist, illustrator, and makeup FX sculptor since 1984.  The illustrations here were created for a possible Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot around 1997.  At that time Carpenter had moved on and Ivan Reitman was leading the charge.  Sadly, Reitman’s movie never made it to filming.

It’s interesting to note the changes Teves made from the original CFTBL design.  Note the tail and a more lizard-like appearance.
