BLACK HOLE will be a "re-imagining", not a sequel
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
I saw 'Black Hole' as a little kid. What sticks out most is the robot Maximilian. The blades and the vicious killing of Anthony Perkins. That freaked me out and that's definitely going to be an element that will be preserved. The design of the Cygnus ship is one of the most iconic spaceships ever put to film. From a conceptual point of view, we know so much more about black holes now, the crazy things that go on as you approach them due to the intense gravitational pull and the effects on time and space. All that could provide us with some really cool film if we embrace it in a hard science way.
I suppose a sequel wouldn't have worked. (After all, where do you go after the trippily ambiguous ending of the original film?) But I'm boycotting this movie unless they have one ugly floating robot that talks like Roddy McDowall and another that talks like Slim Pickens. VINCENT and BOB are a part of this thing, Kosinski, or no deal!
