Richard,
I am you. FP has been my favorite since I was a boy. Born in 1954, so my entire life has been spent wathing it over and over. My number 1 film of all time. have the dvd, vhs and laser disk. Know all the words, all the sounds and it never bores me, ever!

I have been a programmer/geek/storage expert for IBM, Dell, Compaq and others. All because of the “big machine” dreams within FP. My wife will not watch it with me after she saw it once. Oh, look at Killer Klowns from Outer Space for an scene that is a tribute to FP. Take care.

I would love to see a prequel. When I first saw FP in the late 50′s as a child,the ID monster scared me so much that to this day, I sometimes wonder about unseen forces out there & get creeped out in deserted areas at night. It is my favorite movie of all time. I have the DVD & the VHS version. I have seen it so many times that I know the entire dialog word for word. My girlfriend won’t even watch it with me because I can’t resist saying the lines right before they happen,and it drives her nuts. I will be first on line at the theater when the movie comes out.

Of all the past sci-fi film classics I for one consider worthy of being remade for this century, Forbidden Planet I’m optimistic about. A trilogy version is an intriguing idea. Maybe Ian McKellan, considering his luck with trilogies like The Lord Of The Rings and X-Men, should be considered to play Dr. Morbius.

oh OK… in the 2008 episode titled “Silence in the Library” of Doctor Who, there was a toy or model of Robby the Robot seen in the background.

C’mon then Bruce, put us thronging hordes out of our misery! We’re an angry mob hepped up on goofballs and we won’t take No for an answer…

Big Dentist: nope… not quite but that’s a cool bit!

Let me present the question the way it should be presented:

Of the “cast” from Forbidden Planet, who appeared in the background of a Doctor Who episode, and which episode was it?

Don’t know if I’m wide of the mark here Bruce, but the Doctor Who story Planet Of Evil was based on Forbidden Planet, so the “cast member” in the background would actually be the Id Beast? Another bit of trivia: Prentis Hancock’s in this one – old Paul Morrow from Space:1999!

Not sure how I feel about a FP remake, whether it’s in capable hands or not. The original is unique, even amongst the SF classics of the ’50s. The effects still cut it half a century on, the “electronic tonalities” still sound amazing, and I think the Krell are still better left unseen. Oh, and Anne Francis still does it for me…

The inevitable cameo: could Leslie Nielsen get away with playing Dr Morbius, or is he so typecast now that audiences just wouldn’t accept him in any kind of straight role?

“Nice id.”

“Thanks, I just had it stuffed.”

I like this option a whole lot better than a single 2 hour flick that will glaze over details that we could or would like to see.

The idea of expounding on the Krell is appealing to a true fan of the movie.

A mere remake can be rather dull… Like, for example, TDTESS?

Just sayin’.

Whatever,,, (jms)
sounds like somebodies milking the rights on the title to save some money on 3 films.

I mean come on this could be a stand alone original triology by the time the credits roll on the third film…
