…I’ll allow it: “Film composer Michael Giacchino, who recently directed Marvel’s Werewolf By Night has landed his first big feature film directing gig and it’s gonna be a fun one! He will be directing a reboot of the classic 1954 sci-fi man-eating monster movie Them! for Warner Bros.”
…Provisionally. I want assurances that the new version will not treat the original THEM! too solemnly. We’re not talking about CASABLANCA, after all: THEM! was an Atomic Horror monster flick, however well-made. Neither should they make fun of the original, either. Something at the level of EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS* feels about right.

*I don’t care what anybody says, that was a fun movie.

There’s also a movie called Phase IV which you can tell is from the 70s by the way that it is.
I’ll watch this, the director earned some good will with Werewolf by Night, but if they go the 8 legged freaks road, they got to have female leads as attractive as Kari Wurher and Scarlet Johanssen were then.
That is a reasonable requirement.
