Sommers Collides With Worlds
From SciFiWire; 12:00 AM, 11-APRIL-05
Stephen Sommers, director of The Mummy and Van Helsing, will write and direct a remake of the classic 1951 SF film When Worlds Collide for Paramount, Variety reported. Sommers will also produce the film, alongside his partner, Bob Ducsay.
The original film centers on a scientific discovery that another planet is on a collision course with Earth and the race to save a handful of humans from the inevitable destruction. The trade paper reported that the project will be ambitious in scale and budget.
Worlds is the most recent project to come out of the newly formed Sommers Co., which announced last week that it will be producing a feature adaptation of the Top Cow comic series Proximity Effect for Universal, which is owned by NBC Universal, the parent company of SCIFI.com.

Wow - more worldy destruction on the way. I loved this film as a kid, so I imagine the remake will be fantastic but with some new twists. Imagine the social strife behind a select group exiting the world on the eve of its destruction.
What next?? "This Island Earth"? "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? Dare I ask, "Plan 9 from Outer Space"???

Uwe Bolle is a shoo-in for a Plan 9 remake.
