The Great Remake Orgy Continues!! Here Comes CAPRICORN ONE!!


Merrick here...

John Moore (BEHIND ENEMY LINES, THE OMEN remake, the FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX remake) will direct a retooling of Peter Hyam's 1978 action thriller CAPRICORN ONE for New Regency. The project is described as...

an updated, reimagining of the story that revolves around a group of astronauts of an aborted mission to Mars.

...according to THIS ARTICLE in Variety.


Hyam's original film starred Elliot Gould, James Brolin, and a pre-trial O.J. Simpson as astronauts who are pulled from their space vehicle shortly before launch & forced to cooperate in a conspiratorial, simulated landing on the Red Planet. All hell breaks loose when our heroic trio opts out.

The original CAPRICORN ONE featured a score by Jerry Goldsmith; its theme (YouTubed below) would portend his famous theme for TOTAL RECALL 12 year later. Interestingly, RECALL's theme music is often ridiculed as being derivative of Basil Poledouris' 1982 theme for CONAN THE BARBARIAN, which it also evokes to a heavy extent.
