A Flight of the Navigator reboot has been in development for many years but has failed to materialize.
Flight of the Navigator was originally directed by Randal Kleiser (Grease) but failed to generate a large return at the box office, bringing in just $18 million upon release.
That version of the project failed to make it out of development as well.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson, whose other credits include 11.22.63 and White Collar, has been tapped by Lionsgate to write the script for a reboot of the 1986 film Flight of the Navigator.
