"Man is the center of the universe. We stand in the middle of infinity, between outer and inner space. And there's no limit to either."
Two Academy award winning, FANTASTIC VOYAGE is often overlooked, a superior sci-fi classic that got a novelization treatment from Sci-Fi Maestro Isaac Asimov (who fixed the scientific plot holes) and later even wrote a sequel with his own idea!
It's been ages since I last saw this classic with my family as the MOVIE OF THE WEEK in our national TV channel (BTV). And again it turned out a treat to watch after so many years for its exquisitely designs in great detail on a fascinating trip inside the human body!
From James Cameroon to Guillermo del Toro, Hollywood's interest for a remake is in Development Hell since 80s! But after watching it last night, I think a remake or a "fresh" treatment with the same idea can be very interesting and a worth to try if it comes from the Nolan brothers! I'm sure this talented duo can play with this idea to a great length or in an awesome fashion if they really somehow gets involved in the project in coming years.
And my preferred cast for a Christopher Nolan's Fantastic Voyage would be.... Ken Watanabe as the Brain surgeon; Scarlett Johansson as Cora Peterson - Brain Surgeon's technical assistant (originally played by stunning Raquel Welch); Michael Fassbender as Dr. Michaels, chief of the medical mission (originally played by Donald Pleasance); Himesh Patel as the skipper of the ship and Idris Elba or Tom Hardy as Agent Grant.
