SST won best costume at the Academy for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films.

Just shows that they have no taste. The costumes in SST were terrible, the military outfits were a joke - the Rifles even more so. The female school outfits I have no qualms with of course, and the special effects were very good though.

If they do a "remake" that is more like the book then I count this as the best remake idea they ever had.

Different note - anyone have recent info on the Black Hole remake?

It was a bad movie nonetheless, everything verhoeven did after Robocop wasn't all that great. Total Recall was fun but I wouldn't call it a Sci-Fi milestone. Not sure if I want to see remakes of either. I have my movie of marines killing giant bugs.

I saw the original Starship Troopers in the theaters, I thought its was a fun movie then, I still enjoy it now. When Michael Ironside opens the storage container and says "Heres the Beer!" its a classic line. But that being said if someone wants to remake the film properly and close to the book as possible with power suits and better actors, I'm all for it. Keep it gritty & serious not a 90210 reunion!

Costumes were reused for Firefly I think.

Firefly

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

Impostor film

G-Saviour film(also reused uniforms from The Last Starfighter)

The Planet of the Apes remake

Dinner Party 3: ****tales (porn film)

I'm also pretty sure every "sci-fi channel original film" since SST came out has used them at some point.

I think that the Blake's 7 reboot will be a classic like the SYFY Flash Gordon that came out a few years ago. You remember, it didn't have spaceships in it. ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Oh, for the Love. Of. God.

Why can't they leave this sh*t alone?

P. Verhoeven's dystopic "future" has already come to pass. The majority of the original's social commentary was right on the money, sadly. How much more right--or worse--could Hollywood hope to imagine it?

ed: the future of my past was bleak enough. the present has ended up just as sh*tty. stop trying to make what is to be so godda*ned depressing in the here and now, Hollywood.

(at the risk of overgeneralization) Those A/V nerds, recluses, wallflowers and deviants that all the jocks, prom queens, and popluar kids liked to make fun of are all grown up now. And they have migrated to and become part of what is one of the most powerful and pervasive machines of cultural influence there ever was. And they're enjoying using their influence to brainwash those popular kids' offspring, make them want their product, want to be just like them. Enjoy the irony...

Chronicle sequel? Or remake?

Landis even went as far as to compare his plight with his son Max Landis, who is currently working on several gestating projects after his hit superhero flick “Chronicle” earlier this year. One of those project is “Chronicle 2” for Fox, which Landis says, “He wrote a sequel, and it’s amazing, and the studio read it and said, ‘We want ‘Chronicle’ again!’ And he said, ‘No, this is the sequel, it’s the evolution, and they said ‘No, we want that movie again!’ So it’s difficult, we’re dealing with a difficult business.’

Difficult and clueless.

Difficult and clueless.

"We want it exactly like the first one."

"But I wrote a sequel which is just as good."

"But it's not exactly like the 1st one."

"...So why not just release the 1st one back to theaters?"

"No! We want spend money making a NEW movie, identical to the 1st one."

I might as well post this here instead of starting a new thread about it (for now).

Last year, Universal Pictures signed Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman to a two-year contract. The screenwriting duo behind Transformers and Star Trek will be working on the reboots of Van Helsing and The Mummy. Tom Cruise has been attached to the Van Helsing reboot as the star and co-producer. In addition, Rupert Sanders, fresh from his directorial debut with Snow White and the Huntsman, is in talks to direct the new Van Helsing.

Did Van Helsing even do well enough critically or at the box office to warrant a reboot? Personally, I think it was a rather forgettable movie, pretty much a one-off meal ticket to tide Hugh Jackman over in between X-Men and Wolverine movies.

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't that good either.

According to Box Office Mojo, Van Helsing made over US$300 million worldwide - almost twice its US$160 million budget. However, it's considered a domestic flop, as it only made US$120 million in the U.S. And to no surprise, the critics hated it (23% on Rotten Tomatoes).

So yeah, unless Universal is intent on making a better version, why bother?

Never knew it made that much money internationally. Money talks, I guess, if the Transformers movies are anything to go by.
