It\u2019s now on again, with writer\/actor\/comedian Paul Scheer (The Disaster Artist, Veep) set to write the script.<\/p>\n<p>The original 1999 film was a mild success, grossing $90 million, but has since become a cult classic. Starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Tony Shalhoub, it follows the cast of a fictional Star Trek-like TV show called Galaxy Quest. After it\u2019s canceled, they make their living via conventions, but are suddenly visited by actual aliens who believe the show is a documentary. The crew subsequently becomes mixed up in a serious galactic conflict and pulls together despite deep-seated resentments, with the help of devoted fans.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"\" data-lang=\"en\"><p>By Grabthar\u2019s Hammer, I will write thee. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LLuRumTW6u\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LLuRumTW6u\">https:\/\/t.co\/LLuRumTW6u<\/a><\/a>\u2014 Paul Scheer (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulscheer\">@paulscheer<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulscheer\/status\/898264116258783232\">August 17, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/08\/18\/galaxy-quest-amazon-tv-series-back-on\/?sr_source=Facebook\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/08\/18\/galaxy-quest-amazon-tv-s...e=Facebook<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galaxy Quest, the cult movie beloved by sci-fi fans for its gentle mocking of, well, sci-fi fans, is back on track as a rebooted TV series for Amazon, THR reports.
