Alien Nation Remake In The Works

A series of new Alien Nation movies is in the planning stages at 20th Century Fox. The original 1988 movie starred James Caan and Mandy Patinkin, and the remake has attracted the interest of Iron Man writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. They're working on a draft of a screenplay, and Fox apparently has Midnight Special and Mud director Jeff Nichols lined up to direct.
