Hi everyone! First time poster here...posting on the recent review of my FAVORITE film from childhood.
This should be a prime candidate for a Disney remake, no doubt...but obviously an important part of the entire premise--Reinhardt's contention that black holes are long, dark tunnels to somewhere else in the universe, the Einstein/Rosenbridge--would have to be re-examined or dumped entirely. At least, this is true if you are an adherent to Stephen Hawking's new findings. Otherwise, Reinhardt would be dismissed as a loon from the get-go.
What a film that almost was great. Get some decent writers on this project, find a new--probably more fantastical--angle with the black hole, and you have yourself a potentially fruitful remake. But the heroes would have to pull back at the end, somehow--Captain Holland would just be able to escape, over the desires of the rest of the crew, only to be confirmed right as the mangled remnants of the Cygnus are spewed back out into the void.
