Arachnophobia Remake Planned By James Wan

James Wan is all set to produce a new film based on the 1990 motion picture Arachnophobia. The 1990 film on which the remake will be based starred Jeff Daniels and John Goodman and revolved around a small town in rural California that has been infested by thousands of deadly spiders.

Here’s the original plot synopsis of the 1990 original on which the Arachnophobia remake will be based.

After a nature photographer (Mark L. Taylor) dies on assignment in Venezuela, a poisonous spider hitches a ride in his coffin to his hometown in rural California, where arachnophobe Dr. Ross Jennings (Jeff Daniels) has just moved in with his wife, Molly (Harley Jane Kozak), and young son. As town residents start turning up dead, Jennings begins to suspect spiders, and must face his fears as he and no-nonsense exterminator Delbert McClintock (John Goodman) fight to stop a deadly infestation.

A writer and director have yet to be announced for the Arachnophobia remake, but the search for both begins now. Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions and Amblin Entertainment are producing the project.

Wan is putting the finishing touches to the next big DCEU movie Aquaman with Jason Momoa. That movie will be released later this year. He also has The Nun, a spin-off set in The Conjuring universe, also on the way. That film will be released on 7th September.
