Matalas Gears up for a Fresh Take on an Old Favorite
Great news for sci-fi lovers! The whiz behind the last season of Star Trek: Picard, Terry Matalas, is donning his creative cap once again. This time, his project is a contemporary remake of the cult classic ‘Enemy Mine’. He’s working this magic for 20th Century Studios.
The original movie, ‘Enemy Mine’, made its debut in 1985. It thrilled moviegoers with a captivating survival plot set during an interstellar war. The duo at the heart of it all were a human pilot and a Drac – a reptilian alien. They were ably brought to life by Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. The catch? These characters who were actually enemies had to rely on each other for survival on an alien planet. The movie had a unique story based on a novella by the gifted Barry B. Longyear.
‘Enemy Mine’ – A Powerhouse of Talent
Despite its initial performance at the box office, ‘Enemy Mine’ found a firm footing over the years. It’s now a fan-favorite, loved by a faithful cult following.
Future Plans for the ‘Enemy Mine’ Remake
While the news of the remake is thrilling, it’s still early days. There’s no word on any director or producer being attached to this project yet. But, this isn’t the only big revelation from Matalas. Last month, we found out that he had been brought in to helm the showrunner role for Marvel’s upcoming Vision series on Disney+. The series is poised to be a spinoff of the incredibly successful ‘WandaVision’. Fans will be pleased to know that Paul Bettany will be reprising his role as the leading android.
Terry Matalas – Keeping the Fanbase Excited
Matalas certainly has a fan following. He not only impressed viewers with his work on Star Trek: Picard but proposed a sequel series, Star Trek: Legacy. Sadly, this idea didn’t come to fruition, as Paramount decided not to proceed.
Undeterred, Matalas moved on to work his imaginative prowess for Disney. With the Vision series and now the ‘Enemy Mine’ remake on the horizon, his fans are eagerly awaiting his creations.
