Last I read the Forbidden Planet remake was in Development Hell.
I loved the movie. Always wanted to see an updated version.
It seems that just isn't going to happen.
Forbidden Planet - Trailer
Forbidden Planet (1956) - IMDb
Forbidden Planet - Wikipedia
In the 23rd century, starship C-57D reaches the distant world Altair IV to determine the fate of an Earth expedition sent there 20 years earlier. Dr. Edward Morbius, one of the expedition's scientists, unsuccessfully tries to persuade the relief ship not to land, saying he cannot guarantee their safety.
I propose making a reboot that is a 4 component franchise.
Lemme splain:
Forbidden Planet 1: Altair 4 Disaster
The first movie in the franchise would be based on the original premise of the crew of Dr Morbius' ship's discovery of Altair 4 set at the end of the 23rd century.
The movie uses the first 20 minutes or so to establish the ship, technology and introduce the crew/personalities.
While passing close to the Altair System something goes wrong and the ship is forced down to the 4th and only habitable planet in the system.
They discover a world covered completely in artificial structures but completely inactive.
The remaining 2/3 of the film comprises the crew activating and horiffically dying from the planetary machine responses to their raw human fears. Dr Morbius and Dr whoever have a daughter and her mother is killed by a monster from Morbius' deepest fears.
The film ends with Morbius and his now teenage daughter constructing a robot and living in harmony on the planet.
Forbidden Planet 2: Rescue Mission
The second film takes up with a crew on a rescue mission for the craft lost in the Altair System. Responding to a distress beacon launched from the first movie, it is set now 25 year later.
There has been a significant advancement in human based AI but restricted to non-robotics. The AI is in essence a human without a body and is a component part of the ship. It has a portable mode that allows the AI to be carried by others and still remaining fully aware. It can be attached with cables to devices wjich can then be commanded by the AI.
The rescue crew touches down on the surface of Altair 4 after doing a planet search, revealing a great planet wide machine that extends all the way to the core of the planet but only has a small power signature at a specific point.
They touch down at that point and find Dr Morbius and his daughter Altaira alive, well and barely aged. Young Altaira immediately take to the science officer.
The film stays pretty much to original with a few exceptions.
The AI unit is hooked up to the Krell machine.
The monster from the ID is not invisible but manifests seemingly from mid air. It resembles a Dr Morbius monster from the first movie but has subtle differences depending upon which crew member it is attacking.
The AI get control of the Krell interface just in time to save Altaira and the star science officer and their rescue ship.
The survivors call for help and a fleet of ships is shown leaving for Altair 4.
Forbidden Planet 3: Habitation
The third film begins with a whole new cast arriving at Altair 4 some 200 years later.
It is a pilot feature for the 4th component of the franchise, a horror scifi adventure television series based on settlements on Altair 4 and the human fallacies of fear, lust and power.
This full feature film stars the cast of the first season of the series, like a pilot film.
The AI has fully interfaced with Krell technology. Deep in the planet it has manifested pockets of the Krell and teaches them to properly use their technology. Meanwhile, on the surface, settlements are being populated, focusing on two nearby settlements and the people within. The Krell machine, now fully functional, reads their emotions and starts to manifest their fears in horifying ways.
One by one the settlements fall with only a few remaining, steadfast against the onslaught of emotional destruction.
One of the Krell finds its way to the surface and an alliance is made between it and the staring cast.
With the help of the newfound alliance with the Krell lifeform the settlers begin to get control of the great machine.
The film ends with lost settlements making contact as we find that there are more survivors than previously thought.
The cliffhanger end is the AI turning malevolent against the survivors and the pockets of Krell in the planet.
Forbidden Planet The Series
First episode finds the stars as cast with a series of focuses on life at all the surviving outposts on Altair 4.
Meanwhile, the AI is assessing the threat making secret preparations for taking back control of the Krell machine.
Meanwhile, pockets of Krell in the planet are making preparations for control, themselves.
The Krell with the survivors is teaching the fundamental disciplines needed for machine function to the series cast stars.
The series involves different types of assaults on each component using different aspects of Krell technology.
Advanced weapons, physical nightmares and trickery.
Well, that's all I got right now...LOL (went blank)
