Guillermo del Toro in Talks to Direct ‘Fantastic Voyage’ Remake
It’s been announced by THR that Guillermo del Toro is in talks to direct the remake of the 1966 sci-fi adventure film Fantastic Voyage. The project is being produced by 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment (James Cameron’s company). Del Toro hasn’t worked with Cameron since the cancelled At The Mountains of Madness, so it’ll be exciting if these two get this project off the ground! Additionally, the film will reunite del Toro with screenwriter David S. Goyer, who penned Blade II.
Before we get too invested in this remake, the project has been in “developmental hell” for many years, cycling through multiple directors as well as a gamut of screenwriters and stars. Cameron himself has been interested in the project since 1997 and it’s said that he wants to use the same kind of 3D technology that was used on Avatar for this film.
The 1966 film was directed by Richard Fleischer and starred Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, and Donald Pleasance, who horror fans know from Halloween and Escape from New York.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
