Cameron Dives Into 3D "Fantastic Voyage"

Director James Cameron has confirmed he will be producing a 3D remake of "Fantastic Voyage" for 20th Century Fox, graphically updating the 1966 science fiction feature.

The original film was written by Harry Kleiner, from a story by Otto Klement and Jerome Bixby.

The movie also inspired an animated Filmation TV series and book series by author Issac Asimov.

In "Fantastic Voyage", The US and Soviet Union develop technology allowing matter to be miniaturized using a process to shrink individual atoms. But the smaller an object is made, the quicker it will revert back to its original size.

Scientist 'Jan Benes', working behind the Iron Curtain, calculates a way to make the shrinking process work indefinitely and with the help of the CIA, escapes to the West, but an assassination attempt leaves him comatose, with a blood clot in his brain.

To save his life, 'Charles Grant' (Stephen Boyd), pilot 'Captain Bill Owens' (William Redfield), 'Dr. Michaels' (Donald Pleasence), surgeon 'Dr. Peter Duval' (Arthur Kennedy) and his assistant 'Cora Peterson' (Raquel Welch) board the submarine 'Proteus', which is miniaturized and injected into Benes.

The ship is reduced to one micrometre in length, giving the team one hour to repair the clot; after that, the submarine will begin to revert back to its normal size, becoming large enough for Benes' immune system to attack it.

The crew are forced to detour through the heart, inner ear and the lungs. When the surgical laser needed to destroy the clot is damaged, it becomes obvious there is a saboteur on the mission, with only six minutes remaining to operate and exit the body.
