Variety reports that Brian Grazer, head honcho of Imagine Entertainment, has already put a scribe to writing a remake of the 1970 sci-fi movie “Colossus: The Forbin Project”, with an eye toward his studio partner Ron Howard directing. Based on a book by D.F. Jones, the original film was a forerunner of movies like “Terminator,” introducing the idea of a government-built computer that becomes sentient and then takes control. Stupid humans, always giving computers control.
The remake will be written by Jason Rothenberg, who will incorporate Jones’ two subsequent “Colossus” novels into one movie.
