Arachnophobia
During a recent interview with The Wrap, Christopher Landon revealed Amblin and James Wan’s Atomic Monster are no longer moving forward with his version of an Arachnophobia remake due to “creative differences. ” Landon’s gruesome “body horror take” on the material would have been set in a “West Texas town,” and see its spiders laying eggs inside human bodies.
I wrote a script that I loved. I actually think it was one of my best. But the problem with that is that you still have to deal with other people who have different opinions about what kind of movie we should be making. This was a classic case of creative differences and it was something that I was not willing to change.
Everybody moved on and that was just the way that it went. But at least it was a calm separation.
