Disney to remake ‘Flight of the Navigator’

“Disney is readying another launch of sci-fi adventure movie “Flight of the Navigator.”
The 1986 original told the story of a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spacecraft in 1978 and reappears eight years later, still the same age and with no memory of what happened. NASA scientists discover a connection between the boy and a downed spacecraft and try to exploit the boy, who ultimately escapes with the ship and attempts to reunite with his family. The movie grossed only $17 million when it was released but was later rediscovered on VHS, becoming a cult hit.”(via:thr)

‘Flight of the Navigator’ was a film that many of us have an affinity for because of we watched it as children and it had this precious creative magic to it that no remake can ever replicate. That said, if Disney wants to remake this film, I’m actually interested to see how a modern update of ‘Navigator’ would turn out. There are far worse things for Disney to remake.

Oh, really! One of my all-time favorite movies. I’m pretty excited about this.

Max: I told you, I blew a fuse when I totaled that electrical tower. I was checking out some daisies.
