Forbiddent Planet: Prequel, sequel, or remake. - Blu-ray Forum

tron3 · 06-05-2009, 12:23 PM

Simply on a whim I searched www.imdb.com for information on Forbidden Planet. Supposedly a new one is coming out in 2010.

Thus probably the reason why we have yet to see this fine sci-fi on blu-ray. Wasn't it out on HD (coff) DVD?

I read a December 2008 article that it was supposed to be a prequel. Then a March 2009 article claims the script was leaked and thus scrapped. So, is this a prequel or not? Should it be a re-make? A re-make with sequel?

After the disaster with "Day the Earth Stood Still" my only hope for doing this film is to have James Cameron involved. DO NOT SCREW WITH ROBBY the ROBOT!

Last I heard, they where going to do a trilogy of films with the first one based on the original colony, followed by the remake. God knows what the third one would be about and I do not know if this info is accurate anymore or if it was.

No need to "coff/cough" yes it is on HD-DVD and it looked and sounded great the last time i watched it; 1080p is 1080p. I'm sure at some point it will be released on blu-ray (notice i didn't "coff") and i'm sure it will look and sound just as good as it did on HD-DVD. I think this is one of those classics that should be left alone. the movie makers need to move on to something new and stop trying to make remakes and in some cases prequels. Don't get me wrong, some prequels have been very good, look at what star trek did, batman begins. I think it will be hard to make a prequel to this classic; to do that, i think it must start out with the Krell destroying themselves as a result of the technology they created then, the settlers with Morphious and his daughter finding the planet and then what happens to them. it should end with the starship search team heading out to the planet to investigate it and it should end there, imo!

I would love to own the original in Blu, and I am really hoping for a remake.

why is it taking so damn long for a blu-ray release? I hope we don't get the same encode as the hd-dvd version.....I want something better like a high bit-rate avc version with dts-hdma audio with as many extras as they can muster.

LETS HAVE IT ALREADY!!!!! DAMN IT!!!!

........wait a minute!!!!.......is that a heavy breathing I hear......
