Forbidden Planet Movie Won’t Be Retro After All

With the generously revamped version of The Day The Earth Stood Still opening next calendar month , it seemed weird that J. Michael Straczynski wasrumoredto be save a retro Forbidden Planet movie that kept the peachy piercing 1950s look of the original intact . And now it turn out the rumors were wrong — Straczynski piped up on a Usenet group to say the unexampled movie wo n’t be a continuation of the original , and it wo n’t look like some kind of 1950s pastiche . So how will he pay testimonial to the archetype ? The rumour had state JMS ’ fresh hand was a “ continuation ” of the 1956 original , in which Altair 6 somehow does n’t blow up after all . Writes Babylon 5 creator JMS :

That story is wholly wrong . It ’s not going to be retro , and it ’s not going to be a continuation . When Altair 4 blows up , it blows up . I have , however , found a way to honro ( sic ) the original motion-picture show without in any direction smear it in edict to do this loop . Once common people find out what we ’re actually go to do , I think they ’ll be most pleased . Forbidden Planet remains one of my favorite films of all time , and I would n’t even think about doing this labor if I did n’t think there was a agency to do it that would not in any way lessen the original … which is why this is the the first development in years to in reality get to the handwriting degree . Everybody postulate is very emotional by the approach .

voice as though it ’s more a remake than a prolongation , although all this talk of a novel glide slope also makes me enquire if JMS is trifle into the new fad for remakes that are also quasi - sequel , sort of the way the late Hulk movie half - receipt , half - supplanted the original . Or the way the Tin Man miniseries suggest that its Dorothy had had a expectant - grandmother who also see Oz . The bragging interrogative , though , is will we have a retro Robby the Robot ? It ’s in all likelihood not up to JMS , since it ’s a design decision , and it probably depends how well Earth Stood Still , with its retro - expect Gort , does . Of course , if Earth Stood Still does really badly , this may be the last we listen of a new Forbidden Planet anyway . [ JMS News ]
