The talks between the British film director Paul Greengrass and the studio Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation for the realization of the remake of the film Fantastic Voyage failed. The producers James Cameron and Jon Landau met the director but the meeting did not conclude well.

Greengrass would have now in his target Treasure Island, a new film adaptation of famous classic of Robert Louis Stevenson. The producer Lionel Wigram (Sherlock Holmes) develops the project for Warner Bros. The director is not yet officially engaged on this project. He and Wigram try to get along on the choice of a scenario writer.

Cameron and Landau will try to find another director for Fantastic Voyage which will be turned in 3D with the same technologies used for Avatar.

The scenario writer Shane Salerno (Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) wrote the scenario of the new version.

The original film, carried out by Richard Fleischer in 1966, told the story of a scientist who dies of the continuations of a blood clot to the brain. His only chance of survival: that five of his colleagues are miniaturized and injected into a microscopic vessel in his blood system.

The director Paul Greengrass (the Bourne franchise) has just begun from the preliminary talks to direct the 3D remake of science fiction film Fantastic Voyage for 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment, the production company of James Cameron.

This jump in a project in which the special effects will occupy a privileged place is a first for the British director who is rather known for his use of the shoulder cameras and his dramas inspired by the real life like United 93 and Green Zone.

The film will be made in 3D with the same technologies used by Cameron and John Landau for Avatar. Cameron will be one of the producers for this science fiction film.

The scenario writer Shane Salerno (Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) was recruited to adapt this remake of the 1966 film which told the story of a scientist who dies of a blood clot to the brain. his only chance of survival: that five of his colleagues are miniaturized and injected into a microscopic vessel in his blood system.

Roland Emmerich already attached to the realization of the movie but it left the project to turn 2012 at Sony at the time of the writers’ strike.
