Trevorrow Steers "Flight of the Navigator" Redux

"Safety Not Guaranteed" filmmakers of Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly have been hired to rewrite the remake of the 1986 sci-fi cult favorite Flight of the Navigator" says Variety

Randal Kleiser called action on the original which followed a 12 year-old boy (Joey Cramer) who goes missing and re-appears eight years later having not aged a day. At the same time, an alien spacecraft crashes nearby which may explain the boy's disappearance.

Brad Copeland ("Arrested Development") was hired to do the first draft of the remake in May 2009.

Now, the project will be developed as a potential directing vehicle for Trevorrow.

David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing.
