The brain trust behind the upcoming “Tron” sequel, Joseph Kosinski and Sean Bailey will followup their hopefully awesome light cycle shenanigans with a reboot of Disney’s 1979 classic “The Black Hole”. For those not familiar with the Hole, let me assist you with a kind summary.
The crew of the spaceship Palamino stumbles across the ”lost” ship U.S.S. Cygnus, hovering on the edge of an immense black hole. Once aboard, they find the ship is manned by robots – it’s only human inhabitant, one Dr. Hans Reinhardt; an eminent scientist, missing for the past twenty years. His plan – to enter the Black Hole . . . Whether Dr. Reinhardt is a genius or a mad-man, one thing is for sure, he will not be denied his life’s dream. What lies beyond the Black Hole? Immortality . . . or, Oblivion . . . ?
This was Disneys answer to that whole “Star Wars” movie thing you might have read about. The movie featured scary darkness, a crazy mad scientist and killer robots, all with a neat metaphysical angle. The reboot could seriously rule. Think “Terminator” in space with some “Silent Running” and “Solaris” mixed in. Totally awesome! Thanks ComingSoon.
