Disney To Remake The Black Hole

When Disney released The Black Hole in 1979 it was a cue for many critics to make, "It sucks!” gags. It was also pretty much a box office flop (at the time was the most expensive movie Disney had ever produced) prompting further headlines about Disney’s profits going down a black hole.

A couple of years later, Tron was released, and Disney had another box office failure on its books.

The details of the update are being kept secret, though apparently there’ll be a more realistic handling of the science of black holes (to be honest, it could hardly be any less realistic than in the original) and bad robot Maximilian will return. Which is great, because he was one of the greatest robots in sci-fi film history, up there with Gort and Robbie. Shame he had to share the film with two of the most irritating robots in sci-fi film history – if Old BOB and VINcent do make a return in the remake let’s hope it's without those Mickey Mouse eyes.
