Flight Plans

There's a remake of 1986 sci-fi family feature "Flight of the Navigator" on the way according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The original followed a twelve-year-old boy (Joey Cramer) 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.

Wild Hogs writer Brad Copeland is on script duty while David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing.

Executive producer of the 1986 film, John Hyde, is back...

The original is noteworthy only for featuring Paul Pee Wee Herman Reubens as the voice of the ship and future "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker as Carolyn McAdams.

Since Disney has remade (or will remake) just about all of their classic live action films already They are moving on to their bottom shelf I guess...
