Ken Valentine Wrote:Haven't heard a thing, but -- like virtually all remakes -- I can't imagine how it could be anywhere near as good as the original.
How could you beat Robert Preston as Centauri, much less Lance Guest and Catherine Mary Stewart as Alex and Maggie?
I suppose the special effects could be improved upon, but not the characters or the story.

This film used to terrify me when I was a little boy. My parents let me watch it becasue they assumed it was more or less the same as Star Wars, but it has a much nastier edge - the captured spy having his brain boiled with a laser, the pulsating half-formed clone under the covers. . . *shudder*!
