The 1958 cult horror film, The Blob is getting a remake!

Set to be directed by Simon West ( The Mechanic, Expendables 2) the film will be produced by Richard Saperstein and Brian Witten.

The original film starred a young Steve McQueen, with the story set in Downington PA, where a jelly like creature emerges from a crashed meteor and begins to ooze through the town.

No word on who will be cast in the remake, but hopefully it will achieve a cult following like the original!
