That was one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made.
I was curious about a rough release date, but couldn't find anything.
Surprisingly, I did see this....
"James Cameron was once set to direct a remake of Forbidden Planet. The project was in the works at Warner Bros in the 2010s, but never materialised. J Michael Straczynski was assigned to write a script and recently took to X/Twitter to talk about what happened.
“It’s maddening that right now, just sitting on a shelf at Warners, is a really solid screenplay for a FORBIDDEN PLANET movie, written by me, from a story by me and James Freaking Cameron. It’s production-ready, you can just drop it on the stage and shoot it,” Straczynski replied to another tweet."
Avatar seems to have prevented the production.
