Disney is readying another launch of sci-fi adventure movie "Flight of the Navigator."
Brad Copeland is writing the remake, which is being produced by Mandeville partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman.
The 1986 original told the story of a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spacecraft in 1978 and reappears eight years later, still the same age and with no memory of what happened. NASA scientists discover a connection between the boy and a downed spacecraft and try to exploit the boy, who ultimately escapes with the ship and attempts to reunite with his family.
The movie grossed only $17 million when it was released but was later rediscovered on VHS, becoming a cult hit.
John Hyde, who executive produced the first one, steps into the same role for the new version.
Mandeville's senior vp Albert Page will help oversee development and exec produce. Kristin Burr is overseeing for Disney.
Copeland, repped by UTA, wrote "Wild Hogs" for Disney and is writing "Nightcrawlers" at Warners. He cut his teeth in the TV world, where he acted as writer-producer on "Arrested Development" and recently as writer and consulting producer on "My Name is Earl."
Disney-based Mandeville is readying the release of "The Proposal," the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy opening June 19. The company is behind the Bruce Willis sci-fi action thriller "The Surrogates," which Disney scheduled for a Sept. 25 release, and is in pre-production on Relativity and Paramount's "The Fighter," a boxing pic which will see David O. Russell directing Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg. <!--startclickprintinclude--> 'Navigator' to take flight again

I hope they don't make this terrible, and it is something I'd like to watch with my neice and be a kid for a while.
Here's hoping to Hollywood NEVER rebooting The Explorers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089114/)...
