Remake
In November 2009, it was reported that Disney has plans to remake the movie. Director Joseph Kosinski and producer Sean Bailey are attached to the production.
The Disney film Tron: Legacy (which had the same director and producer as this proposed remake) contains some references to this movie, possibly hinting at the remake. These include a poster for The Black Hole that can be seen in the bedroom of Sam Flynn in 1989 and an action figure of Old B.O.B. that can be seen next to the Tron action figures on his shelf.
