  • Colossus (201x)

    The move gives a shot in the arm to the Imagine Entertainment-produced project -- a remake of the studio's 1970 "Colossus: The Forbin Project."



    Universal Pictures is bringing Men in Black scribe Ed Solomon aboard to rewrite the Will Smith vehicle Colossus.


    The move gives a shot in the arm to the Imagine Entertainment-produced project, a remake of the studio's 1970 Colossus: The Forbin Project that the studio began developing in 2007. Solomon, who is also collaborating on an untitled film with J.J. Abrams, has a long history with Smith, dating back to Smith's breakout hit Men in Black.


    Blake Masters and Jason Rothenberg wrote earlier drafts of the super-secret sci-fi screenplay. Though the studio is keeping plot details under wraps, the project would see Smith taking on the role of Dr. Charles Forbin, who is the creator of a computer that has taken over the world and is the only scientist who can stop it.

      My guess is they rewrite it for a happier ending.

        They should have made the sequel novels** into films to finish the story, but they didn't.

        ** these;

        The Fall of Colussus: the computer is defeated, but not before informing Forbin of a coming alien threat.

        Colossus and the Crab: the alien threat emerges, humans and a reactivated Colossus handle the situation.
