I warned you

 When writing about the remake of The Blob I said, and I quote, " If made today it would obviously be done with CGI, and that would be sad." 

Looks like Hollywood was listening. Because here comes another remake of The Blob by the director of unforgettable classics like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and a single episode of The Cape. Taken from Uproxx, who got it from Deadline:

“With modern CGI we can now fully realize the potential of The Blob. The world I create will be totally believable, immersive and emotionally satisfying. It’s a thrill to introduce an enduring icon to a wider audience and a whole new era of fans.”

Thank Allah we can finally realize the untapped potential of The Blob.  At the very least it's nice to see they aren't pandering to us anymore by pretending that it'll be done with practical effects. Last time that happened we got The Thing (2011) where they wound up covering all the practical effects with CGI anyway.

 Strap in kids, this one is going to be EMOTIONALLY SATISFYING.
