Another remake has been announced. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the classic science fiction suspense thriller Outland, written and directed by Peter Hyams in 1981, is being reimagined by Warner Bros. Michael Davis will direct the Chad St. John script.
Original synopsis: Marshal W. T. O'Niel (Sean Connery) is assigned to a mining colony on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. During his tenure miners are dying usually violently. When the marshal investigates he discovers the one thing all the deaths have in common is a lethal amphetamine-type drug, which allows the miners to work continuously for days at a time until they become "burned out" and expire. O'Niel follows the trail of the dealers, which leads to the man overseeing the colony. Now O'Niel must watch his back at every turn, as those who seek to protect their income begin targeting him.
In this updated version, the story takes place on a city orbiting the moon, where a cop uncovers a murderous conspiracy endangering the entire city. With a week before his retirement back to Earth, he has to choose between walking away with his wife, or taking on a private army.
