At the time, the director decided to dedicate his efforts to Avatar and limit themselves to the production of the remake – of which, in 2007, the direction was confirmed Roland Emmerich. Shortly after, however, Emmerich also decided to abandon the film because, presumably, he did not like the script.
This is what we believed until then, but during the San Diego Comic-Con, the director of independence Day he made it very clear the real reason why he didn’t remake Fantastic Voyage.
