Colossus: The Forbin Project getting rewrite
A day after Imagine Entertainment had The Dark Tower killed it looks like they’ve gotten another project some new life.
The project is getting a rewrite from Blake Masters (Law and Order: LA). The rights were acquired a couple years ago but is has been dormant since then. Now it’s revived.
The film is about a genius who creates a supercomputer that regulates the United States’ national defense. The Russians create a similar computer and the two super computers become sentient and share top secret information with each other. The Americans and Russians must then come together to stop the super computers before they get ahold of all them nukes. Sounds interesting, no?
Ron Howard and Will Smith were once set to star, but I don’t think that’s likely now since it’s been dormant forever. Who do you think should direct and act? [Variety via Slashfilm]
