Okay, I could just about stand remaking "The War of the Worlds" * even if IMHO they should of made it to the book but this is scaraledge.<br /><br />The Day the Earth Stood Still<br /><br />and <br /><br />Barbarella<br /><br />* because of its pervious radio and movie incarnations it was just waiting to happen. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.

Agreed. <br /><br />The Day the Earth Stood Still is an international treasure and should be left alone.<br /><br />Another problem would be finding a modern actor with the class of Michael Rennie to play Klaatu. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Uh-oh....<br /><br /><b>When Worlds Collide (2008)</b> (preproduction)<br /><br /><b>Studio:</b> DreamWorks SKG<br /><br /><b>Director:</b> Stephen Sommers (Mummy series; Scorpion King; Van Helsing; Deep Rising)<br /><br /><b>Writer:</b> Edwin Balmer (book), Stephen Sommers<br /><br /><b>Producer:</b> Steven Spielberg, Stephen Sommers<br /><br /><b>Cast (so far)</b><br /><br /><b>Angelica Daniels:</b> Melinda Clarke<br /><br />Unless he follows the book (unlike the 1951 film) it'll be a waste. If he does then it sets up a chance to make the books sequel; "After Worlds Collide", the story of living on Bronson Beta (Bronson Alpha & Beta were the 2 bodies in the book, and both were <i>planets</i>). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

A remake of Barbarella can't be all bad...we get to see more woman and in my book, thats a good thing. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen...and those who do not know what happened.</em></p> </div>

We yes, I'm less annoyed about that than WTSTS <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring" - <strong>Chuck Palahniuk</strong>.</font> </div>

Although I'd rather they left them all alone, I think a sequel to "The Day The Earth Stood Still" would be a better idea than a remake.<br /><br />"When Worlds Collide" would a be a better remake candidate. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

I can only repeat what I said on the thread about the possibility of a Blade Runner Remake.<br /><br />Hollywood - stop butchering classics for a quick buck. Dear reps of companies that finance these films - take some bl**dy risks! There are a thousand brilliant SciFi stories out there begging to be made into film. Hire some new creative directors instead of the cliche, special effects automatons! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Scarlett Johansson said said she'd be open to do nude scenes if the right project came along <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Where's our Rama movie?<br /><br />Where's Alastair Reynolds films?<br /><br />Peter F. Hamilton? (probably better as a series)<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.

But this is a serious discussion on whether a remake of Barbarella is possible. Please stick to the subject.

Take from a film maker; casting is critical to remaking Barbarella, especially the first 8 minutes <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

So then its agreed, Scarlett's got the Barbarella lead, provided she stick to the above wardrobe !

Or less <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <br /><br />As for if it can be made technically, of course.<br /><br />Financially; likely, especially in these days of fantasy movies. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
