From Creature Corner:

Your devoted Rotten one, the mighty Johnny Butane, the ghoulish Girlcreeture, and the mysterious Inspector had a chance to hang with the incredibly friendly Guillermo [del Toro] before he had to step on stage and discuss Hellboy at this past Sundays Weekend of Horrors event. Curious as ever about the long-in-development Creature from the Black Lagoon remake (something Guillermo has recently been attached to) I had to get some kind of confirmation as to whether the rumors were true or if Guillermos involvement was hopeful wishing on Universals part. Sure enough, del Toros attached. His hopes are to not set the Creature remake in a modern day, technology-heavy world but to set his Black Lagoon adventure in the late 1800s! Amen to that, brother. Where, exactly, the Creature film will fit into his schedule is undetermined. Hmmm, lets see, if Hellboy is slated for a 2004 release...
