Reportedly, New Line Cinema plans on remaking the 1956 sci-fi classic,
"Forbidden Planet", the company has already remade "Lost In Space".
This will be a big budget venture with state-of-the-art FX. I'd
read that Harlen Ellison was approached by New Line producers on
the script and he asked incredulously, "Why?". When he suggested
a sequel, they turned their back on him. My guess is that they
believe they can make a BIGGER, BETTER version. They very well might
in some areas, but I think it would lack the "charm" (a quality that
attracts and delights the heart) of the original. Of course, I'm
biased, as I was raised on FP as a child and it was "burned into"
my highly impressionable mind at the time.
To a child now, the remake might be just the thing, as they, in turn,
might look back at its nostalgic charm years later. It might also be the
version for those adults dissatisfied with the original for one reason
or another. I hope these guys do a good job and don't louse it up by
smothering the unusually intelligent story with FX. - AH
