Cusack and Peet Have a Favorite "Martian"
by Scott Weinberg | April 20, 2005
Discuss Article
Described by The Hollywood Reporter as "a cross between E.T. and Parenthood" is the upcoming family film "The Martian Child." John Cusack ("High Fidelity"Wink and Amanda Peet ("The Whole Nine Yards"Wink are set to play the lead roles, and Menno Meyjes ("Max"Wink will be in the director's chair. First-time feature screenwriters Jonathan Tolins and Seth Bass will be adapting David Gerrold's short story. Plus Joan Cusack's set to play the sister of John's character ... which is great because they really are siblings, and because Joan's usually pretty hilarious.

Thank gods! When I saw the headline, I thought the article was going to say that they're planning to make a sequel to My Favourite Martian.

If they were, it would have been too early to remake a film from the 90s.

I didn't say remake, I said sequel. But either would be bad.

I thought exactly the same when I read the caption of this piece of news. Is this based on a sci-fi short story ? I'll do my research...
