After seeing
his chances at making a Pacific Rim sequel dwindle, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro
has, according to a new report, turned his attention to another project.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, the visionary filmmaker is in negotiations with 20th
Century Fox to remake the 1966 classic sci-fi classic, Fantastic Voyage, which
revolves around a team of scientists who shrunk to an atomic size alongside a
submarine, which they use to enter and navigate through the body of a fellow
scientist who is in a come after an assassination attempt. The movie was set
during the Cold War, and the comatose scientist was a defector.
The remake
reunites del Toro with James Cameron, who tried to get the filmmaker's
adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountain of Madness off the ground but
failed, and David Goyer, who wrote the script for del Toro's Blade II. Cameron's
Lightstorm Entertainment is handling the adaptation, while Goyer wrote the
treatment, and co-wrote with Justin Rhodes the script for the remake.
Chinese
conglomerate Wanda is in the process of acquiring Legendary Pictures, so there is
still a glimmer of hope for Pacific Rim 2 since it was bigger hit in China than
anywhere else in the World including the United States.
