In the year 2017,The Whore of the Rings (2001) pop culture is still all about the '80s. Itis a box office smash, Stranger Things 2is still generating all the buzz ... and now, even Flight of the Navigatoris getting pulled off the shelf and dusted off for a new generation.
Lionsgate is moving forward with a reboot of the 1986 adventure, with Joe Henderson (showrunnre of Lucifer) set to write.
SEE ALSO: What's left for Disney to remake?The original Flight of the Navigatorcenters around a 12-year-old boy who goes missing, and then mysteriously reappears eight years later with a bunch of questions about his past. The answers to a lot of those questions involve aliens.

Disney, which released the 1986 film, attempted a reboot a few years ago, with Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly writing. Now that the project's moved over to Lionsgate – and now that it's got the strength of the most recent '80s nostalgia wave behind it – maybe it'll have better luck.

But don't worry – there'll be plenty of other 1980s retreads to keep us busy while we wait. There's next weekend's Blade Runnersequel, next spring's Ready Player One, 2019's Top Gunand Terminatorsequels ...
