8 Sci-Fi Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were In The Works

News of a Timecop remake first surfaced in 2010, and while things haven't progressed a great deal since then, it's never been officially cancelled, and does have writers and producers attached.

Mark and Brian Gunn - who penned Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - were said to be writing the script back in 2014, with Marc Shmuger coming onboard as a producer and Mike Richardson executive producing.

The original 1994 Timecop starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, a U.S. Federal agent operating in a society where time travel has been made possible.

Apparently, the remake will focus less on the sci-fi and more on delivering a gritty, street-level police story, with sci-fi elements in the background (think Rian Johnson's Looper).

That makes a lot of sense; this way, the film's budget would be reduced (making the remake less of a financial risk) and the filmmakers would still be able to deliver a product that lives up to the premise.
