STARMAN To Be Remade By Shawn Levy For Columbia
80’s sci-fi revivals are back in the headlines with word from THR that director John Carpenter’s 1984 film, Starman, is up for a remake over at Columbia Pictures. Stand By Me scribes Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon wrote the original film which centered on a widow coerced into helping a fugitive alien look-a-like of her deceased husband, with a three-day cross-country drive to the Barringer Crater in order to save his life.
