It looks like Christian Alvart wants to take a trip back into space, as the PANDORUM director has gained the rights to adapt the classic 50s sci-fi pulp novel and one-time anime CAPTAIN FUTURE for the silver screen.
Set far into the future in the year 1990, FUTURE follows the Newton family into space as they set up shop on the Moon for various space experiments. Along for their adventures are an intelligent robot, a shape-shifting android, and their elderly scientist friend who has transplanted his brain into a floating device so that he may continue on living. But every story of a hero’s rise must contain a villain,…enter diabolical scientist and evil genius Victor Kaslan, who murders the Newton family leaving their son Curtis to be raised by the only family he has (I.E. a robot, an android, and a brain in a box). This gives way for Curtis to become CAPTAIN FUTURE! I hope you read that in a booming voice that echoed through the depths of space.
Check out what had to say about his vision for the film adaptation after the jump!
We are developing CAPTAIN FUTURE as a big fun space opera for the whole family – hoping to recreate that same sense of excitement that I had discovering space through the CAPTAIN’s eyes. There are many smart and adult ideas in the franchise for grown-ups to enjoy, but this will definitely be something they can take their kids to as well.
Like THE FIFTH ELEMENT this will be a big budget Science Fiction movie developed and produced out of Europe with an international cast. CAPTAIN FUTURE still has a huge fan base in countries like France (CAPTAIN FLAM), Italy (CAPITAN FUTURO) Germany and the UK. I know the fans will watch very closely where we take their beloved CAPTAIN and I hope they will be as excited about him conquering the big screen as we are now working in his Universe.
CAPTAIN FUTURE will be about Curtis Newton’s first adventure and therefore – in part – his origin story. We are also in development on a possible sequel called CAPTAIN FUTURE – WIZARD OF SCIENCE which would be ready instantly if box office returns are promising.
And yes, since I get your question all the time: “Will we see the COMET in 3D?” You bet we we will!”
