Default 'Tron: Legacy' team mount a 'Black Hole' remake

Team behind Tron Legacy are also going to do the Black Hole remake.

Quote:
Disney is preparing another expedition into “The Black Hole.”

Joseph Kosinski and Sean Bailey, the director and producer of Disney’s new “Tron: Legacy,” and scribe Travis Beacham are teaming up for what is being labeled a reinvention of the 1979 sci-fi film, which at the time was the most expensive movie Disney had ever produced.

“Hole” marks one of the first projects to be put into development by new studio chief Rich Ross.

The original followed a group of space explorers aboard the USS Palomino who come across a lost ship, the USS Cygnus, hovering outside a black hole. Inside the Cygnus, the explorers meet a scientist, commanding an army of faceless robots, who explains his crew deserted him as he planned to go through the black hole. The explorers soon discover that the robots are the remnants of the former crew and that the scientist has no intention of letting them leave.

The $26 million movie, which featured a menacing red robot named Maximilian and two smaller, friendlier robots, was Disney’s first PG-rated production and helped put the company on the special effects map.

The details of the update are being kept secret, though the take does involve grounding the story in the science of a black hole, much more so than in the original. Maximilian also would return.

Sounds like Disney might go all 'Event Horizon'-ish (love that film) with a sequel, although albeit PG-13 if at all possible. And although hollywood's gone way too far with big screen remakes since 1993's The Fugitive. This is one film where i liked the story which was kinda creepy for a Disney flick when you were kid and yet was an exciting space adventure with a Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues or Shakespeare's The Tempest twist, but simply just set in space.

The Black Hole a Disney film i've wondered what might've happened if it were redone however. The news is kinda old hat and there's been nothing since late November 2009 when this came out. As always here's hoping more develops on this one as it has potential!

Reckon the campy elements of the original might be completely removed albeit with minor Disney-isms of today, replacing it. I have a fear though any new incarnation of TBH will ditch the ambiguous ending of the original however!
