Another Spider Franchise Play? Amblin Spins Arachnophobia Redo With James Wan Producing

EXCLUSIVE: Amblin and James Wans Atomic Monster are the early stages of a remake of Arachnophobia, the 1990 Frank Marshall-directed horror-comedy film about a species of South American killer spider that crosses the U.S. border in a coffin. It breeds and becomes a massive killer. Jeff Daniels and John Goodman starred in the original, in which a few brave souls try to track down the queen before the hybrid breed can take hold.

Wan, who most recently completed Aquaman for DC and Warner Bros, wont direct this. Hell guide it as producer. Atomic Monster is in post-production on the latest in The Conjuring universe, The Nun, which is slated to hit theaters September 7.

Wan is repped by Paradigm, Stacey Testro International, and attorney David Fox.

Theyll set a writer shortly.
