    Hollywood's staggering lack of creativity knows no limits. I read that there were plans to remake Monopoly, the movie. As if "The Dukes of Hazzard," wasn't bad enough. What's next, "The Oprah Show" the movie?
    
    At least Forbidden Planet has great potential value.

    Oh...joy.
    Hollywood has been trying to produce a remake of Forbidden Planet for several years. Apparently it's getting closer, as producer Joel Silver hired a screenwriter this fall, Michael Straczynski, who wrote Eastwood's The Changling and was a regular writer for Babylon 5.
    New Line Cinema originally announced a remake in 2001, and there it knocked about for a few years, without a script and director making the right marriage, although names as big as James Cameron were apparently attached at one point. DreamWorks tried next and failed, then passed it back to WB, which now appears to be serious about getting it off the ground.
    Straczynski has been quoted as saying the original is "his favorite science fiction film." According to Wikepedia, he gave Silver an idea for the new film which is "not a remake", "not a reimagining", and "not exactly a prequel". Wikepedia states "Straczynski has met with people working in astrophysics, planetary geology and artificial intelligence to reinterpret the Krell back-story."
    It will take a great script and very special director to get me excited about this. Could be swell with the right team. Could be awful.
