Three classic Irwin Allen sci-fi series are getting reimagined for a new TV ''universe''
The 1960s sci-fi shows will be revitalized by an Oscar-winning writer who has collaborated with Ron Howard.
Three of Irwin Allen's iconic sci-fi shows are getting new life for a modern TV audience. Land of the Giants, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and The Time Tunnel will soon be reimagined by an Oscar-winning writer, producer, and director.
Akiva Goldsman will be developing a new "universe" based on the three shows. This won't be the first time that Goldsman has been tasked with reinventing old properties — Goldsman wrote the screenplay for 1995's Batman Forever, as well as the follow-up Batman & Robin. Nor is it his first time working with Irwin Allen's content! He wrote and produced the 1998 Lost in Space film, starring William Hurt, Gary Oldman, Matt LeBlanc, and Heather Graham. While the movie's reception was negative, it was a success financially and ended Titanic's 15-week run as #1 in the box office.
In 2002, Goldsman won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for the Ron Howard-helmed A Beautiful Mind. He would go on to collaborate with Howard again in 2005 with Cinderella Man, in 2006 with The Da Vinci Code, and in 2009 with Angels & Demons.
Goldsman also has experience reviving classic 60s series for a modern TV landscape. He's worked on Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
