Sean Connery's Outland Getting a remake By Warner Brothers
Looks like another 80's Movie that is going to get a remake. The Original movie was about Marshal W.T. O'Niel is assigned to a mining colony on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. During his tenure miners are dying - usually violently. When the marshal investigates he discovers the one thing all the deaths have in common is a lethal amphetamine-type drug, which allows the miners to work continuously for days at a time until they become "burned out" and expire. O'Niel follows the trail of the dealers, which leads to the man overseeing the colony. Now O'Niel must watch his back at every turn, as those who seek to protect their income begin targeting him.
We have a soft spot in our hearts for Outland, the 1981 Sean Connery outer-space western loosely modeled on High Noon, so it comes as good news that Warner Brothers and Hollywood Gang Productions are developing a remake.
Shoot 'Em Up director Michael Davis will oversee the update, suggesting a more dynamic and action-packed version.
Variety reports:
Chad St. John, who scripted WB drama The Days Before, will pen the redo.
The new version will reportedly expand the "space frontier" concept of the original.
