It was only yesterday that we relayed a Production Weekly missive about James Cameron’s next flick not only being a sci-fi event flick, but that it could very well be Shane Salerno’s script for DOOMSDAY PROTOCOL. Well, looks like the rumors have in part washed away, and that Cameron’s next film credit (most likely as producer and not director) will be a 3-D reimagining of 60s film/TV show “Fantastic Voyage” (also penned by Salerno, MTV).
“Fantastic Voyage” was a sci-fi/adventure show that ran from 1968-1970, adapted from a 1966 film of the same name.
No telling when Cameron and company will bring the sucker to life, but let’s just hope dude doesn’t wait another dozen years to finally realize the project onscreen.
So what about DOOMSDAY PROTOCOL? Well, it’s still being mentioned as another Cameron/Salerno project, but will most likely come about after FANTASTIC VOYAGE (as PROTOCOL may too much resemble AVATAR).
One thing’s for damn sure – Cameron has way too many projects attached to his belt for a dude only putting out one film every three and a half years (on average, as director).
What project would you like to see Cameron sink his teeth into next?
