1985’s Enemy Mine is going to get a remake. The Wolfgang Petersen movie was the director’s first project after helming 1981’s Das Boot and 1984’s The NeverEnding Story. A co-production between the U.S., the U.K, and West Germany, the sci-fi movie starred Dennis Quaid as human astronaut Willis Davidge, who becomes stranded on a planet with Jeriba Shigan (Louis Gossett Jr.), a fighter from a reptilian enemy race known as the Drac. While fighting for their survival, they form an unlikely bond.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, a remake of Enemy Mine is in the works at 20th Century Studios. The screenplay is set to be written by Terry Matalas, the showrunner of the final season of Star Trek: Picard. Matalas’ other writing experience is primarily in television, on small screen projects including Nikita and MacGyver as well as other sci-fi titles such as Star Trek: Enterprise, Terra Nova, and 12 Monkeys. He is not currently attached to direct, however, as no director has been formally announced.
