A New Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Movie?
So how about a
new Voyage movie? There are a wide range of attitudes among Voyage
fans about whether or not this is a good idea. What if the movie
turned out really bad? What if it weren't true to the characters?
What if it ended up being a bunch of CGI eye-candy and little else?
Not unreasonable questions, and yet I say, what if nothing ever happens--either a new movie or revised series? Then a fantastic potential goes down the drain and the likelihood that there will be further merchandising from the original series is greatly reduced. Is there actually talk of a new movie? Yes. The news sighted below is old, but there still seems to be the possibility, no matter how scary that might seem, of a Voyage movie. Read on... An updated Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie. Source: Variety June 25, 2004 Fox 2000 is updating the Irwin Allen-created Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Justin Haythe (The Clearing) has been set to write the script. In the story, the world's most advanced submarine is sent on a deep-sea salvage hunt, inadvertently bringing aboard a predatory organism from the ocean floor. Walter Pidgeon starred in the 1961 original. "Voyage" was also a '60s ABC TV series starring Richard Basehart and David Hedison. |
