And for the record let me say I enjoyed Kubrick's film but once King was able to get involved i.e. Executive Producer of the mini-series,the story was finally told as it was written.Granted,it's hard to compare the performances because Nichsolson absolutely nailed his role but overall the mini-series was very well done and I would also add if you watched it on tv with commercials and over the 3 nights do yourself a favor and rent the DVD and take 4 1/2 hours and watch it straight thru.

FWIW, there is already a Westworld remake on the docket.
Its scheduled release is 2012, but who knows at this point, they've been talking about it for a while. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/ |

Hmmmm I hope this doesn't suck. http://www.thetvremote.com/scifi-dev...nation-remake/ SciFi Developing Alien Nation Remake July 1st, 2009 | 0 Comments | Email | Share Sci Fi is developing a reboot of Alien Nation, the 1988 feature that previously spawned a spinoff series on Fox. Tim Minear – no stranger to sci-fi tales, having worked on The X-Files, Firefly and Strange World – is writing the fresh take on the franchise. Fox 21, the alternative production arm of 20th Century Fox TV, will produce. Alien Nation centers on the partnership between a veteran cop and his alien detective partner, set against the larger tale of alien “newcomers” who move to Earth and attempt to assimilate into society. The new Alien Nation would include a mythology that evolves over time and will also touch on some of the issues of the day, such as the immigrant experience and how society integrates an incoming culture. Minear said he’s looking forward to incorporating a mix of all the different kinds of series he’s written in the past. Minear is currently busy outlining the Alien Nation script and mapping out the project’s mythology. The new Alien Nation will likely take place in the Pacific Northwest, and will take place about 20 years after the first ship of aliens – who have been banished as slaves – crash lands into Earth. By the time the show begins, some time in the 2020s, the alien population has multiplied from a few thousand to 3.5 million. And much of the “newcomers” live their own segregated existence, in what Minear compares to the North African ghettos in France. The original film, which took place in 1991, was directed by Graham Baker and written by Rockne S. O’Bannon (with an uncredited revise by James Cameron). Mandy Patinkin and James Caan starred as alien cop Sam Francisco and his reluctant human partner, respectively; Terence Stamp also starred. In 1989, 20th Century Fox TV and Kenneth Johnson Prods. adapted the movie for Fox, with Eric Pierpoint and Gary Graham in the lead roles. The show lasted just a single season but spawned a series of books. The TV show was revived in 1994 as a series of telepics for Fox, starting with Alien Nation: Dark Horizon. Five TV movies were ultimately aired; the last, Alien Nation: The Udara Legacy, ran in 1997. |

The original with Nicholson was an instant classic. I know they left a lot out but man, it was great... I'm not saying that the mini series was horrible, I'm saying that they definitely could have got better actors for it. |

Wasn't there one of these threads in the media section a few weeks ago?
Anyhow, as I said in the other Thread.....Spawn the Movie needs to be remade.

Not exactly on topic but I'd like to see a Godfather 4 where Garcia is now The Don and they have a family war with The Sopranos.

That would rock, maybe they could have a war with the Russian's over that guy Paulie & Chrissy tried to kill in the woods. Each epsiode was like a mini-movie anyway, i bet they could come up with something great for a 2 hour show. |
