Disney Remaking Flight of the Navigator
Disney is prepping a remake of their 23-year-old sci-fi adventure movie FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR, per THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, with Brad Copeland set to write the script.
Mandeville partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce. John Hyde, an exec producer on the 1986 original, will reprise that role for the new film. Mandeville SVP Albert Page will oversee development and exec produce with Disney's Kristin Burr overseeing for the studio.
Copeland wrote WILD HOGS for Disney and WB's NIGHTCRAWLERS. The original film was about a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spaceship in 1978 and reappears eight years later, the same age, with no memory of the incident. When NASA scientists discover a connection between the boy and a crashed spaceship, he escapes and tries to reunite with his family.
Mandeville, based at Disney, is behind romantic comedy THE PROPOSAL (June 19) and Bruce Willis' sci-fi actioner THE SURROGATES (Sept. 25).
