Well quite possibly one of the greatest movies from the early age of sci-fi, When Worlds Collide (George Pal) will be coming out from the new George Pal, Steven Spielburg.

When Worlds Collide 2008

If ever there was a movie just crying out for a remake, it's this one.  Not only did the original rock even without the George Pal effects, this movie is just made for the age of modern computer animation.

Continents crack open, oceans of lava pour out, mountains crumble, tides sweep inland to the Mississippi, and finally two planets smash into each other as a small group on a "Noah's Ark" type spaceship desperately try to jump to another passing planet.

Here is a plot synopsis, just highlight the blank space below: (Warning: do not highlight if you do not want plot spoilers!)

Sven Bronson, a South African astronomer, discovers that a pair of runaway planets, Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta, will soon enter the solar system. The larger one, Alpha, will pass close enough to cause catastrophic damage. Eight months later, after swinging around the Sun, Alpha will return to pulverize the Earth and leave. It is believed that Bronson Beta will remain and assume a stable orbit.

Scientists led by Cole Hendron work desperately to build ships to transport enough people, animals and equipment to Bronson Beta in an attempt to save the human race. Governments are skeptical, but the scientists persist and develop the technology necessary for the spacecraft, which are built in various countries. Nations like the United States evacuate their coastal regions in preparation for the Bronson bodies' first pass. Tides of hundreds of feet, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes take their deadly toll, and the weather runs wild for more than two days.

The isolated Hendron camp manages to build two ships which take off together with all of the survivors of the camp (after beating off an attack from refugees desperate to escape). One ship makes a successful landing, but without radio contact with any other ships, the crew members assume that only they made it across. They find that Beta is habitable and that there are traces of a native civilization wiped out when, millions of years before, the planet was torn away from its sun.


This has the potential to be one of the coolest movies ever made!
