‘Fantastic Voyage': David S. Goyer On Hopes He And Guillermo Del Toro Can Complete Remake Of Sci-Fi Classic

Goyer is hoping he and Guillermo del Toro can still find a way to embark on their long-gestating remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic Fantastic Voyage. Goyer, of course, collaborated with director Christopher Nolan as a screenwriter on The Dark Knight Trilogy and is currently executive producing Apple TV+'s Murderbot. Goyer first teamed with del Toro in 2002 on the Wesley Snipes Marvel movie Blade II, which he co-wrote and del Toro directed. Starring Raquel Welch, Stephen Boyd, Edmund O'Brien and Donald Pleasence, Fantastic Voyage follows a crew of five scientists who are miniaturized in a submarine and injected into the bloodstream of an ailing colleague in a desperate bid to prevent his death. The Fantastic Voyage remake was to be directed by del Toro from a script by Goyer and produced in collaboration with James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment. 'Guillermo's a good friend. We've worked on about five or six projects together,' Goyer said in a recent Zoom conversation. 'We were in prep on Fantastic Voyage and it was very close. A production designer was on and all of the above. "While we were in prep for that, Guillermo said, 'I've got this deal with Searchlight' and 'Do you have any scripts that could be made for $20 million?' and I gave him a script called Antlers that we produced together,' Goyer added.

Caulfield/WireImage) While Antlers — a horror thriller directed by Scott Cooper that starred Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons — was released in 2021, Fantastic Voyage remained in development. The film was put on pause in 2017, Deadline reported. 'Fantastic Voyage got derailed with the-then regime at Fox, but God, it was a good one,' Goyer added. 'It was such a great experience working with Guillermo and James Cameron on that, and then my experience working on that led to my working on Terminator: Dark Fate with Cameron and we got along great.' While it has been eight years since Fantastic Voyage began treading water, Goyer said he isn't giving up hope on the film just yet. 'I've known Guillermo forever. I hope one day we can figure out [how to get Fantastic Four made],' Goyer said. 'In fact, now, my friend Steve Asbell is running [20th Century Studios], so it occurs to me that I should call him up and say, 'Hey, maybe we should try to resurrect this.' "I also have a Star Wars script I wrote with Guillermo that hasn't been made, so there are definitely a few ones that have gotten away,' Goyer added. While David S. Goyer has yet to complete Fantastic Voyage with Guillermo del Toro, the duo has had the good fortune to collaborate on other projects including the 2022 Netflix horror anthology series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. When the series — which was initially known as Guillermo del Toro's 10 After Midnight (via Deadline) — got the green light at Netflix, the director reached out to Goyer to write a script for one of the eight short stories he was going to produce for the series. 'He said I'm doing this 10 After Midnight thing at Netflix and I've optioned X amount of short stories and I had read them all,' Goyer recalled. 'Guillermo said, 'You get first pick if you want to do one. Since I had always loved The Autopsy and the author [Michael Shea], I wrote that.' Then, Goyer, added, he experienced something that's never happened to him in all of his years as a writer. 'I adapted the story and sent Guillermo the script and he said, 'I love it. No notes.' It went into Netflix, and no notes,' Goyer enthused. 'It was the first time in my life that it ever happened. It was just like, 'Boom!' It was just a completely painless experience.' Goyer is currently executive producing the new Apple TV+ sci-fi action comedy Murderbot, which is based on Martha Wells' best-selling The Murderbot Diaries book series. In addition, Season 3 of Goyer's sci-fi series Foundation debuts on Apple TV+ on July 11, while his Netflix fantasy series The Sandman returns for its second and final film season with six episodes on July 3 and six episodes on July 24. Meanwhile, del Toro is readying his version of the Mary Shelley horror classic, Frankenstein, for release on Netflix sometime in November.

‘Front Mission 3: Remake' Finally Comes To Switch This Summer
'Front Mission 3: Remake' is out this June on Switch. Followed by the already excellent remakes for Front Mission 1 and 2, the third game in the series will be getting the same treatment on Switch this June. Front Mission 3 is the last of the original PlayStation games. I had hoped we'd see a remake of Front Mission Alternative, but it's still great that the mainline releases have been remade in the first place. Personally, I've really enjoyed the remakes of the first two Front Mission games on Switch. They are very faithful to the original games, despite the graphic overhaul, and can be quite a challenge. The first two remakes have also received a lot of patches over the years, so the games are being supported in the backend, which is always reassuring. As for this game, many regard Front Mission 3 as one of the best games in the series. I somewhat agree with that, but preferred some of the later PlayStation 2 instalments. Whether we will get a remake of Front Mission 4 remains to be seen, but it would be interesting to see how it would be updated for modern hardware.

Remakes of the first two Dragon Quest games launch in October
More upgraded blue slimes are on the way: Square Enix just announced that remakes of Dragon Quest 1 and its sequel are launching on October 3oth. The two games will be bundled together under the name Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake and will be available on the PS5, Xbox, PC, and both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. This is good news if you're a fan of the series, given that the remake of DQIII turned out excellent, marrying the classic RPG gameplay with incredible visuals and sound, along with some welcome quality-of-life tweaks. For the new remakes, Square Enix says that 'in addition to beautiful HD-2D graphics, a refined battle system, numerous quality-of-life updates, and major story additions, both remakes will feature a variety of new content.' As for what that new content is, details 'will be revealed at a later date.' And if you're wondering why this remake series kicked off with the third entry in the franchise, it's because that's how the storylines play out chronologically. DQIII is set years before its predecessors, and in DQI and II players take control of the descendants of the hero from the third game. It's a little complicated, but in October newcomers will finally be able to complete the story. To that end, Square Enix will also be launching a digital-only collection with all three games, called Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Collection. It'll be available for $99.99.
