‘Flight’ With Denzel Washington Next For Robert Zemeckis; Drops ‘Replay’

Posted on Friday, August 26th, 2011 by Germain Lussier

With the amount rumor running around Hollywood, it’s hard to believe a movie is actually getting made until a filmmaker calls “Action” on set. That said, it seems after considering a number of projects, Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis has settled on his next film and it’ll be one of the many he was previously attached to. That film is called Flight and stars Denzel Washington as a pilot who saves his plane after a malfunction and is labeled a hero (Think Sully Sullenberger). However, as the investigation moves on, it becomes apparently that he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and he must then deal with keeping the secret and the guilt of being an undeserving hero.

As a result of choosing to direct Flight next, Zemeckis has dropped out of the Groundhog Day/Back to the Future influenced Replay. Read more about that film and more after the jump. Read More »

Oh, and Replay involves time travel. Sort of. Back to the Future fans should hit the jump for more info. Read More »
