An interesting new rumor has been published by DanielRPK<\/a> (via WoR<\/a>) and claims that beloved British filmmaker Edgar Wright is considering a reboot of a cult Disney sci-fi property \u2013 Gary Nelson\u2019s 1979 feature \u201cThe Black Hole\u201d.<\/p>\n

The original, at the time the most expensive film the studio ever made, followed the crew of the space exploration vessel USS Palomino who come into contact with a massive lost ship, the USS Cygnus, which is hovering just outside the gravitational pull of a black hole.<\/p>\n

Inside they meet crazed scientist Dr. Hans Reinhardt (Maximilian Schell), the sole human along with many faceless robots aboard a giant ship that he plans on flying into the black hole.<\/p>\n

The Palomino\u2019s team (led by Robert Forster and ) soon discover a dark secret about what happened onboard this ship, while realising the scientist has no intention of letting them leave. Anthony Perkins, Ernest Borgnine, Yvette Mimieux and Joseph Bottoms co-starred while Roddy McDowall and Slim Pickens lent their voices.<\/p>\n

The film was famously darker and more existential than most Disney fare at the time, and is still seen as something of a curiosity today. Production elements of the movie remain praised, from the design to the visual effects to John Barry\u2019s score.<\/p>\n

Wright has previously spoken about his admiration for the film, and the new rumor indicates he\u2019s re-teaming with \u201cAttack the Block\u201d filmmaker and \u201cLockwood & Co.\u201d creator Joe Cornish to co-write the script. Wright and Cornish previously worked together on the scripts for \u201cThe Adventures of Tintin\u201d and \u201cAnt-Man\u201d.<\/p>\n

Disney previously attempted a reboot of the property years ago with \u201cTron: Legacy\u201d and \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d director Joseph Kosinski attached \u2013 but that version didn\u2019t make it out of development.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney An interesting new rumor has been published by DanielRPK (via WoR) and claims that beloved British filmmaker…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":["post-8516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
