Talking Sci-Fi Stuff! Great Movies 1970-76 (Pt 2), Forbidden Planet Remake | Sci-Fi Zone

Remakes/reimaginings can definitely be done, especially of the older films like Forbidden Planet. If it works, we get a modern classic. If it doesn’t work then we still have the original version totally untouched. The only losers will be the studios, the viewers win whether it’s a success or a failure because we will always have the originals.

Yes for sure. however, the main issue is when studios choose to remake a classic when a remake isn't actually required. Ultimately there are some good points to be made for both arguements, though it's likely cinephiles and purists would much prefer to see new and original stories be made into films, as opposed to going down the 'cheats way out' by remaking/rebooting/re imagining.great films which don't need it.
