Cameron Gives A FANTASTIC VOYAGE Update: Script is Two Thirds Complete

Yes FANTASTIC VOYAGE is still being made with James Cameron producing and Shawn Levy (REAL STEEL) directing. In fact the script is two thirds done. Thus far Shane Salerno and Laeta Kalogridis have contributed to the writing which Cameron himself has labeled "very complex".

Cameron gave Deadline a bit of an update recently at the screening of a few clips from TITANIC 3D confirming that despite Levy's burgeoning dance card, he is still attached.

Says Cameron: "I gave him my idea about how this should be turned into a love story and he’s really run with it."

This is apparently the movie's storyline (Deadline):
Much like Titanic the new Voyage has a real emotional core to it, basically dealing with a doctor going through troubled times in his marriage who finds himself injected into his gravely ill wife in order to save her life. Apparently, once he gets to the brain, things really heat up.

I suspect we will see FANTASTIC VOYAGE in theaters in 2015 as the script isn't quite there and Levy has other projects to push as well. Still, this one will definitely be worth the wait.

A romance inside a human body? This has James Cameron produced sci-fi epic written all over it. For all of our coverage on FANTASTIC VOYAGE click here.

James Cameron Sends Shawn Levy On A FANTASTIC VOYAGE!

Apparently director Shawn Levy (NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, REAL STEEL) has been tapped to helm producer James Cameron's FANTASTIC VOYAGE for Fox!

I think the real strength here (other than the producer) is the writing. The first go at this was written by Shane Salerno (DOOMSDAY PROTOCOL) but even more importantly the rewrite is being massaged by Laeta Kalogridis who has been tearing it up since SHUTTER ISLAND, AVATAR and BATTLE ANGEL.

The early buzz on REAL STEEL sounds amazing! I think Levy has hit another one out of the park. No surprise here with Cameron selecting him; his future is definitely very bright.
