For my fellow Media Science Fiction Fans just read a team is about to take a crack at a Forbidden Planet remake... [View all]

Waaaay too young to have seen it in the theater, but lord knows how many times
I watched it on Million Dollar Movie TV show! 😄😄😄

It wasn't till streaming that I finally got to see it in color! 😄 🩷

I absolutely loved them walking through the Krell machineries! Such wonderful set designs, matte paintings etc!

For Babylon 5 fans the bridge scene when Ivanova and ? visited a particular planet; well that was a visual homage to the original FP scene. 🩷 👍 🙂

Just in the nascent stage, so who knows when, if it gets created. But kind of fun.
Remakes are fine by me. One always has the Original, if not interested, or the remake is badly done.
As a visual artist I'd be soooo intrigued to see what they'd conjure up for Krell works, as it were.

My favorite shot is a mixed matte painting, w visual effects where you see this long walkway front to back. intersected by three shorter ones, structures to the far right, then hoisted on thin pillars these electrical sparky, glowing globes going backward into the mid back ground. Sooooo cool, with Morbius, and the 3 space crew walking there. Teeeny figures.
