Another remake/reboot/revisioning ! Where are the original ideas ? There was word a while back on a remake of Forbidden Planet -no, no NO ! Dont't these people not realise that they are tinkering with people's fond memories - but then, money is the main driver.

Mad Magazine did a parody of Fantastic Voyage back in the mid 1960's. Skin tight wetsuit, anyone?

Why the coveralls? over the wetsuits.
They knew where they were going and what for. The overalls were completley redundant and uneccessary ...except for allowing Raquel to do the strip out of them! I agree...there are enough Books out there to make an original screenplay these days. But then again, its like Music...there are only so many combinations of notes. You are bound to repeat Chords and progressions. So even an original screenplay, gets compared to something thats already been done. I think there are some films that stand on their own merit and should not be touched. Forbidden Planet is one of those. The Day the Earth Stood Still is another. Reflecting the period after WW2 and the beginnings of the Nuclear age. Its a story that cannot fairly be reproduced. Its like retelling the story of Walt Disney ...while he worked at Pixar. They butchered TDTESS by trying to turn it into an "environmental impact" advisory. In contrast, Fantastic Voyage is a film that is better suited to today's CGI technology. The special effects in that film were atrocious. Not to mention the storyline and acting. I tried to watch it again last night....didn't get too far. I would look forward to a retelling of that film. Now that we have better CGI and a better Medical understanding. But they would have to come up with a better reason for the voyage since we have now have the technology to fix many things without going into the body. Plus, we now have AntMan. We don't really need the Proteus.

I love that movie! I was thinking of a simple Koolwheelz size. the more remakes the better, in mho. why? not because they replace the originals in my heart at all, but because of the meltdowns they cause. much more entertaining than the actual movies. all you have to do is say you like it and lean back and watch the comments. have a full cup of coffee ready and a flash drive so you can show people the rants. lol.

human carpets
whats even worse is when people are so sensitive that they get their feelings hurt when you are simply just talking. not even saying anything offensive. you step on a nerve because someone else went out of their way to stomp on their nerves before you came along. they look like this while you are talking about some mundane subject that triggers their painful past.

or when I'm trying to explain why I don't want to do a model of another vehicle I have no interest in. lol

Reaching back to earlier requests for Lost In Space related models
(specifically the Chariot...although I am interested in doing a small Jupiter II) I was quick to say no in this regard since I was never satisfied with this TV show. I did, however, like the Movie reboot with Gary Oldman. Well, it looks like there might be some renewed interest.... since Netflix is putting together a new TV reboot. Not too many details yet.

Dave - Have you ever considered Hot Wheelsifying the Juggernaut from the serial film Crash Corrigan and The Undersea Kingdom, which I watched with great delight at the Waverly Theater in Baltimore in the late 1940s? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undersea_Kingdom)
We discussed the film and the vehicle in this thread: The JUGGERNAUT (from Undersea Kingdom (1936)) Chris Walas made the unforgettable entry: "And who could forget in Undersea Kingdom when Crash Corrigan was ruthlessly strapped to the front of the juggernaut and faced certain and gruesome annihilation when the Juggernaut was about to ram the gates of the fortress?!?

Don,
That's funny as I just stumbled onto the Juggernaut last week while researching the Lunar tank from Commander Cody. I think the Juggernaut was reused in the Commander Cody series, with obvious exterior changes. Bob |
