There often are times when a film comes out before the audience is ready for it. Whether it is because of the themes involved or the filmmaking style, some projects sometimes leave the audience unimpressed. An actor popularly known for starring in such films is Dennis Quaid. Over the years, the actor has been a part of a plethora of films, particularly sci-fi that were often overlooked. However, rumors suggest that one of the popular projects by Quaid will soon be getting a new life on Netflix.

Netflix is no stranger to bringing back some of the most iconic films back to its platform. The streamer is home to a huge collection of films that were released years ago. And it seems like Netflix is all set to bring back Dennis Quaid’s Dreamscape. However, reports by Giant Freakin Robot suggest that the streaming platform will reboot the movie in the form of a series under its banner.

Where The Wild Things Are fame Spike Jonze will act as the frontrunner of the upcoming project by Netflix. As impressive as it sounds, Jonze will also make a few changes, adding a bit of a virtual reality spin to the story.

The film made its way back to our screens back on 15th August 1984. The reports further suggest that the upcoming series will follow a peculiar storyline in which people can enter a virtual reality realm during their sleep. While both the projects are different in terms of the plot and format, they share a common concept: shared dreams.

Jonez is no stranger to directing projects that often leave one startled. In the past few years, his films Where The Wild Things Are and Being John Malkovich made the rounds on the internet for their surreal dreamlike qualities. So it is safe to assume that it would be exciting to watch Jonez return after directing a feature film Her back in 2020.

In the meantime, let us find out what Dreamscape was about.

What was the original movie starring Dennis Quaid Dreamscape about?

Dreamscape was one of the few films whose concepts often felt way ahead of its time. The original project followed Dennis Quaid as psychic Alex Gardner, who finds himself as a part of an experiment by the government. Interestingly, as a result of the experiment, Gardner is able to enter the dreams of various people and take part in them.

The film was incredibly popular among the masses back when it first made its way to the screens. Dreamscape performed impressively. It grossed a total of $12 million dollars worldwide with a budget of $6 million. Moreover, the film also starred some popular faces including Christopher Plummer, Kate Capshaw, and Max von Sydow.
