Disney to remake The Black Hole

[johnmiic]

I think the ending to the original Black Hole leaves a lot to be desired. They don't have to make it a simplistic endeing but I could do without the religious and metaphysical symbolism. I think the way the 1979 Black Hole film ends is because they didn't know how to end it. If you look at many David Lynch films and his tv series Twin Peaks, you see you can have and ending rich with symbolism and not have to make it quasi-religious/inspirational to be ambigious.

That's the problem with most modern movies, there is nothing left to the imagination ... New movies spell out everything in black and white and take the mystery away ... There is no more viewer interpretations.
Part of the fun of an ending like the Black Hole is discussing it with your friends after seeing it... and everyone usually has a different interpretation.

From what I've read, the home video revolution became an absolute Gold Mine for Disney because of their enormous back-catalogue of All Ages films, which few others could compete with (along with the Disney brand).

So even the box office bombs and mediocre performing films in original release (like the seventies animated films), eventually did make some combined big profits for Disney. Multiply this through all the format upgrades and careful generational rerelease schedules.

I thought the original was a good try, but ultimately not a successful film (the movie itself, not its earnings). If they do a remake, i hope they remove the juvenile aspects (okay, the robots were cute but I want my sci-fi to be darker and more realistic). As a sci-fi fan, I hope the movie makes a ton of money. As long as sci fi movies continue to perform well, they will keep making more. And that is a win for all of us sci fi junkies!

Well at least keep Maximillian.I thought him,S.T.A.R and the Sentrys were cool.Have them look the same or very similar to what they looked like and get rid of the holy roller ending and make it darker.It will be a hit for sure

I think it's a safe bet that this is in good hands, after all Disney did buy MARVEL, so They have Plenty of writers to brain this one out!
