The cult sci-fi film, launched in 1985, takes place throughout an intergalactic warfare between people and Dracs, a reptilian species. Dennis Quaid stars as a human pilot who crash lands on an unforgiving world alongside a Drac pilot performed by Louis Gossett Jr. The 2 sworn enemies should put apart their deep-seated hatred and work collectively if they’ve any hope of survival. The movie was primarily based on a novella by Barry B. Longyear and was the English-language debut of director Wolfgang Peterson. Whereas Enemy Mine was a field workplace failure upon launch, the movie has developed a cult following over time.

It was introduced simply final month that he can be serving because the showrunner of Marvel’s new Imaginative and prescient collection for Disney+. The collection will likely be a by-product of WandaVision, with Paul Bettany set to reprise his function because the titular android.
Matalas gained followers’ admiration along with his glorious work on the third and remaining season of Star Trek: Picard. He pitched the thought of a follow-up collection, which he dubbed Star Trek: Legacy. “[Franchise producer] Alex [Kurtzman] and I talk all the time. If it’s something that’s going to be done, we want to make sure we don’t rush into it,” Matalas mentioned. “We want to make sure we do it right. That’s where we’re at with it, I say coyly. At the moment, there’s nothing developed on it. But we talk all the time.” Followers have been fast to precise their want for the potential collection, however Paramount sadly didn’t pull the set off. Now that Matalas has moved over to Disney for the Imaginative and prescient collection (and now the Enemy Mine remake), it might be too late.
