Production Weekly twittered an interesting tweet saying, "James Cameron is developing a Shane Salerno-scripted sci-fi action script for Fox, described as an 'event' film set in the future."

That sounds like Doomsday Protocol, which was announced over a year ago. We would assume the Cameron will just be producing.

When it was announced, the project was described as "an epic sci-fi adventure in the vein of 'The Seven Samurai' involving a group of aliens and humans with various abilities who are brought together to save Earth."

Where the F*** is Battle Angel, Cameron!?!?!?

 

[matrix_ghost]

I think he'll be on board as the producer.

 

[YoMaMa84]

...so he just came out of solitude and is about to pwn everything out there?

He better not become commercialized. Stick to being a perfectionist and make masterpieces.....however long it takes. Dont jump on a bunch of movies now.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

This concept of super powered humans and aliens trying to save Earth sounds better than Battle Angel anyway.

He did produce and direct a couple episodes of Dark Angel, you know.

I know he produced a couple shows and movies....i'm talking about directing.

 

[terry78]

He's producing it sounds like.

 

[YoMaMa84]

oh ok...cool

 

[Aesop Rocks]

They're making a sequel for Avatar?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Still no talk about Pirahna 3?

 

[Chewy]

Scripted by Shane Salerno? Does Cameron want to be make a terrible movie?

 

[thegameq]

Where the F*** is Battle Angel, Cameron!?!?!?

Yeah really! Cut the bull***** and give us Battle Angel already! Damn, all this time thinking we were finally getting Battle Angel and instead we get Avatar. Now another announcement and still no f*** Battle Angel. WTH! Is he going to do the damn film or not?!? If not let another major fantasy director take on the project while Cameron ***** around with his pet projects.

Scripts are rewritten all the time. Cameron may like the concept and may decide to rewrite the script to suit his style. He's done it before with True Lies.

 

[:eek:]

As previously reported, Shane Salerno ("Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem") has been hired to pen a sci-fi feature for James Cameron and 20th Century Fox reports Variety.
Turns out that feature is a remake of the classic 1966 sci-fi feature "Fantastic Voyage" which Cameron will produce.
The story centres on a dying scientist whose only chance for survival rests with five colleagues who are miniaturized and injected into his bloodstream.
The film is expected to be the first of several features that Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment will utilise the 3-D and digital technology developed for "Avatar".

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It sounds like he is producing which is good because I want Battle Angel.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

As I said when Avatar was announced and throughout its production, I have faith in ANYTHING Cameron does, as you can be safe in knowledge it will be a good movie.

 

[matrix_ghost]

He is producing although i'd rather he develop the Forbidden Planet remake

 

[JackBauer]

So how many decades do you think he'll take to make it this time?

Greengrass May Take Fantastic Voyage with Cameron

According to Variety, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) is in talks to helm a remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic Fantastic Voyage for producer James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox.

The plans would be for the British director to film the special FX-driven adventure movie about a group of scientists miniaturized and shot into another man's bloodstream to save a life using the same 3D technology Cameron used for his Oscar-nominated Avatar, and if Greengrass signs on, it would be a major departure to his normal M.O. of trying to create gritty realism using handheld cameras. Shane Salerno, who wrote the two "Alien vs. Predator" movies will write the adaptation.

Previously, Roland Emmerich was slated to helm the movie, but that was nearly three years ago, and late last year, Cameron announced that he was interested in producing a remake

Greengrass, please don't. Do something better. Fantastic Voyage is silly as hell, leave it to people like Brett Ratner, Paul W.S. Anderson, Stephen Sommers etc.

May I ask why you find this movie silly ? I for on like it but I am a sucker for submarine stuff.

Edit : a kind of remake was already made, it was Innerspace.

 

[Rac]

May I ask why you find this movie silly ?

Because they shrink people and put them inside a man. If that's not silly, I don't know what is.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

What is silly ? Using something impossible like time travel to kill the mother of the soon to be born savior of the human race or using electricity to revive a patchwork of boy parts or telling that the human genome made a leap forward so big that some people get powers.

 

[matrix_ghost]

Bump for eventual merge.

ps am i the only one who thinks fantastic voyage is lame. They go inside the human body. What's so great about seeing cells and kidneys anyway.

For godsake Cameron , ditch this and do FORBIDDEN PLANET
