After months of speculation and a seemingly endless list of names, the James Cameron-produced remake of the 1966 minor sci-fi classic “Fantastic Voyage” has landed a director: Louis Leterrier, the man behind the lens of “The Incredible Hulk” and this year’s “Clash of the Titans.” Details may change, but the basic plot of the remake should be the same as Richard Fleischer’s original film, following a team of scientists as they’re miniaturized and injected into a human body to perform a life-saving procedure. Naturally, things go horribly wrong and adventure happens. Although Shane Salerno’s script is currently undergoing “minor revisions” courtesy of “Avatar” producer and “Shutter Island” writer Laeta Kalogridis, Cameron is hoping to get the film rolling by early next year, which is an unusually short amount of time for a production with the name James Cameron scrawled on it. If this is the case, a director needs to be signed quickly. After all, that little thing called “pre-production” needs to happen.
