Paul Greengrass Taking a 'Fantastic Voyage'?

I've had little to no faith in James Cameron's decisions lately, but he may be on the brink of doing something that could partially redeem him. Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) is currently in talks to direct the remake of the scifi classic Fantastic Voyage. With Cameron on board we already know that the visual effects will be mindblowing, which may be the only thing Cameron is actually good at. Greengrass could definitely bring something more to the project. He knows how to direct extraordinary action, and can add a touch of realism to the admittedly corny story.

Whether Greengrass will except the job is questionable. Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, 2012) turned the film down because he didn't like the script written by Cameron. When Roland Emmerich doesn't like your script you know it's time for a rewrite. Optimistically that's just what will happen and we'll get another amazing action adventure from Paul Greengrass. So in other news Fringe returns tonight and offers plenty of revelations on the mysteries of Peter's origins so expect my review tomorrow morning.
