FANTASTIC VOYAGE alive over at Fox'

Published at:  May 11, 1999 12:49:18 AM CDT

Well I got word from a source of mine at FOX... Actually... Ok... I admit it, it's my bug under the desk of Tom Rothman (just kidding... sheesh... take a breather) and all I know is my guy says it's alive and well. Apparently they've been doing new drafts on the screenplay (or it might be a from scratch script) but the word is that the TARZAN screenwriter (aka Tab Murphy) has done a draft. I don't know what is up with it. Or anything about that draft so.... SPIES! Hop to it! Sniff this sucker out! I want to know if the script requires a perfect figure babe in a tight white wet suit fighting White Blood Cells.... hubba hubba hubba.... I want to know what Emmerich and Devlin's involvement or lack of involvement is. They once were very involved with the project. What's going on? OH... Houdini! See if you can find the script!

    Babe for film

    by jeffeeyore

    Okay, who can top Racquel in the original? 50 people will be here today and say Elizabeth Hurley, but is anyone else tired of her being mentioned in every babe role out there? After The Mummy, I would dare say Rachel Weisz...she's my new muse.

    Who Can Fill Raquel's... Er...

    by anton_sirius

    Rachel Weisz is really cute and spunky and nice, but hardly whack-me-upside-the-head-with-a-two-by-four stunning like Raquel was. Now normally I'd be touting the virtues of my beloved Angelina Jolie here, but you know what? I can't see it. (Besides which, I'm holding her back for that remake of the Vampire Lovers. Or Daughters of Darkness. Whichever. Doesn't really matter, we'd all go see it.) See, this is the problem with Hollywood today. All these skinny Gwynyth/Cameron/Calista clones running around. You need someone with meat, dammit! Sirloin, not tofu! Someone like... Denise Richards! (Who would also be infinitely superior to Drew in the Barbarella remake, but that's another TalkBack entirely.)

    Heck With The Babe

    by cpt. matt

    What I wanna know is which "Fantastic Voyage" are they basing the new movie on? Is it the original movie with a novel by Asimov taken from the screenplay, or is it the "new" book Asimov did before he died? Asimov said the second book was the way he would have written the story.

    My Vote

    by halflinger

    Bear with me... I was in sales at a large (and now defunct)electronics retailer. What should be playing incessantly on the laserdisc connected to our 15 foot high, 200 unit television display, you ask? The Rocketeer! The sight of Jennifer Connolly in that white dress, shimmering black hair....... Now convert the dress to neoprene, squeeze in all the right places, and PRESTO!

    Mmmmmm, Jennifer...yum!!!

    by uncapie

    Jennifer Connelly in a "tight" bikini and wetsuit! Yummy! After that, she should play "Barbarella" in the remake, only if I can play "Durand, Durand"!

    Do we need this?!!

    by jimmer72

    All those great, unfilmed sci-fi novels out there, and we get ANOTHER remake to a cheesy, sci-fi "classic." (Well, at least Gus Van Sant isn't remaking 2001... er, right?) And if it must have a babe, I say Salma Hayek. That woman is a goddamn, walking SIN!!!

    Jennifer, okay!

    by jeffeeyore

    Jennifer Connelly sounds good to me. What a sight! Rocketeer, Dark City, heck, even as far back as Labyrinth and she's always been gorgeous!

    Fantastic Voyage

    by fish

    Why is everyone so puzzled over a Fant Voy remake? Can U say merchandizing? Gosh, amoeba ashtrays! It's dizzying. And U bet U'd get some WBTV alumni in that movie. For them, the original IS nostalgia. We can all lament how Hollywood is not creating original, blah blah blah, but the truth is that Hollywood likes to play it safe. And we as a theater going public like safe. So long as its full of special FX and some hot-looking cheese & beef cake. Honestly, if U want intimate, character-driven, go to an arthouse theater and get it. IT IS OUT THERE. But if U want a big screen adventure, few pix can bring together both segs: the FX eye-candy AND the involving story. Saving Private...Er, Somebody, was one of those. The Matrix is not.
