"Saturday Night Live" writers Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell have been hired by Disney to pen the script for a remake of the 1986 movie "SpaceCamp," reports The Hollywood Reporter. The 1980s teen space adventure is getting relaunched for the 21st century for Disney+, Disney's streaming service. John Rickard, whose credits include "Rampage" and "Horrible Bosses," is producing the project that is being developed by Disney's live-action film division. |

If they're planning to do a remake of "SpaceCamp," what will be the space vehicle?In my opinion, it wouldn't be the space shuttles, for they are officially retired. |

No details about the plot have been released (as the script has yet to be written). |

The original movie led you to think they were all going to the Space Camp at Kennedy (otherwise that was a long commute from Huntsville on two occasions in the film).I can't help but wonder if this new film will have a similar concept and if so, if it'll take part back in the 80s or today. As nobody's flown from Kennedy in almost a decade, I wonder if they'd show the campers strapping into a SLS and suddenly going for a ride? Without the (admittedly ridiculous) premise of the kids being launched into space, the movie wouldn't hold the same ideas as the original. I just have three hopes for this: - It's entertaining
- It's filmed at Huntsville
- It's not written or acted like "Space Warriors"...

Perhaps, or maybe strapping into Dragon or Starliner during a hot fire test. With the script in development now, this remake (if greenlit) may not stream until 2021. |
