Otto boards flight on Fox's 'Phoenix' redo
"Lord of the Rings" veteran Miranda Otto is in negotiations to star
opposite Dennis Quaid in the 20th Century Fox remake of "The Flight of
the Phoenix." Otto will play a geologist in the action thriller, which
is being directed by John Moore. The original 1965 "Phoenix" revolved
around a plane crash in a North African sandstorm and the efforts of the crew
to build a plane from the wreckage. The updated version represents a reinvention
of the original, with contemporary circumstances set in the Mongolian desert.
John Davis, Bill Aldrich and Alex Blum are producing "Phoenix," while
Fox's Emma Watts is overseeing the project for division topper Hutch Parker.
Otto, who most recently appeared in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,"
returns to the big screen Dec. 17 in the final installment of the "Rings"
trilogy, "The Return of the King." She also appears in the upcoming
comedy "Danny Deckchair." Otto is repped by UTA, Management 360 and
Sydney-based Shanahan Management. (Josh Spector)
