…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.
