Is Steve Coogan Heading Off To The Great Beyond?

Looks like Steve Coogan isn't giving up on his movie career just yet, despite a number of false starts.

The Brit comic, last seen on the big screen in Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief, is apparently eyeing up a movie remake of his one-off BBC comedy-drama, Cruise Of The Gods.

Originally aired in 2002, it told the story of a group of actors from a once-famous sci-fi show who reunite on a cruise with their fans only for long-buried petty jealousies and unresolved rivalries to rear their ugly heads once more. It starred the likes of Rob Brydon, David Walliams and James Corden, but at present only Coogan has signed up to reprise his role in the remake which is tentatively going by the title, The Great Beyond.

David Guion and Michael Handelman, who penned the upcoming Steve Carell/Paul Rudd comedy Dinner For Schmucks, have been named as the screenwriters.
