The director of Disney’s Haunted Mansion, Justin Simien, has one other challenge he’d wish to develop for the Mouse House. During a current interview, the filmmaker shared that he needs to adapt Michael Jackson’s basic ‘80s movie attraction Captain EO as a feature film. He told ScreenRant:
“Captain EO, let’s go! Listen, I do know it’s out of fee, okay? I do know that’s not technically a journey, however I’m prepared. I would like some singing and I would like some dancing and I would like some jerry curl juice in outer area instantly.”
I nonetheless bear in mind going to Disneyland once I was a child and watching Captain EO for the primary time. As a child, that brief movie was freakin’ AMAZING! The 3D on the time additionally fully blew my thoughts! That was at all times such an superior movie-going expertise!
The sci-fi movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by George Lucas, Rusty Lemorande and all three of them labored on the script for the movie. The movie ran at Disney theme parks from 1986 to 1996. Jackson performed Captain EO, who leads a ragtag group of aliens and robots on a mission to ship a particular present to an evil alien queen, who was portrayed by Anjelica Huston.
The movie built-in Jackson’s music and dance fashion into the story. This was an formidable film for the time and it featured some superior particular results. Despite its 17-minute working time, the film was some of the costly movies per minute ever made on the time.
It could be so bizarre to see a full-length function movie adaptation of this film with out Jackson’s involvement. Honestly, I’m torn on this. On one aspect, it could be attention-grabbing to see how somebody would adapt Captain EO into a function movie. On the opposite aspect, as a large fan of the unique film, it additionally appears untouchable. I feel this one ought to simply be left alone.
Captain EO is an amazingly magical product of its time and there’s actually no purpose for anybody to try to adapt it as a function movie. But, who is aware of… crazier issues have occurred in Hollywood. What do you all assume?
