\u201cBattle Angel Alita\u201d and \u201cAvatar\u201d were projects James Cameron was attached to for many years before they finally made their way to screens.<\/p>\n

Another title on that list of long-gestating passion projects is \u201cFantastic Voyage,\u201d a remake of the 1966 sci-fi cult classic starring Raquel Welch.<\/p>\n

Cameron has been attached to the remake since the late 1990s in a producing capacity. The likes of Guillermo del Toro, Paul Greengrass, Roland Emmerich, and Shawn Levy have all come close to directing at some point.<\/p>\n

\u201cBatman Begins\u201d scribe David S. Goyer was also linked to the Cameron\/del Toro version, which Goyer previously revealed got derailed by Fox.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Deadline<\/a> this week, Cameron offered a brief update saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been nurturing that for a while. I hope to get that going this coming year. I\u2019ll be producing it. I\u2019m working with a director right now with a new script. So, yeah, we\u2019re gonna do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original film revolves around a scientist who holds the secret of miniaturisation technology. After he goes comatose, a team of specialists is shrunk and travel inside his body to try to repair a dangerous blood clot.<\/p>\n

Richard Fleischer helmed the original, which also starred Stephen Boyd, Edmond O\u2019Brien, Donald Pleasence, and Arthur Kennedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Fox \u201cBattle Angel Alita\u201d and \u201cAvatar\u201d were projects James Cameron was attached to for many years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-335323","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
