I read Crotchety raving about a Forbidden Planet remake the other day. But according to Harry Knowles, what we think we know ain’t so! The Straczynski-scripted movie will be a “continuation” of the first Forbidden Planet, not a remake.

Hey!
Ok, it’s going to be a prequel or a sequel. That I can live with (I wonder if they’ve discovered that the Krell had interstellar travel too…?)
But it WAS a good rave if I do say so myself.

Straczynski himself has denied this report. The movie is a remake.
In an alternate world …..
“Breaking Film News”

THAT I can live with! But how can you possibly leave Quentin Tarrantino out of that ensemble?
