It's a good day in Hollywood for Sci-fi fans, that's for sure.
First, Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) has signed on to direct a remake of Fantastic Voyage, the 1966 sci-fi flick that starred Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasence says Variety.
The script, which will be written by Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, National Treasure), is about a scientist who must be saved from a fatal blood clot by miniaturizing five colleagues in a ship that is then injected into his bloodstream. Sounds like Innerspace to Gen X-ers like us!
And second, sci-fi author extraordinaire Neil Gaiman has revealed to MTV that a big screen adaptation of Neverwhere is once again in the works. The popular book, which Gaiman originally wrote as a BBC miniseries, has been floundering, as MTV puts it in "development Hell" for years. But it appears to be back on the right track, with David Slade (Hard Candy) attached to direct.
