Upcoming

Well they're remaking one of my favorite SF movies "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. I'll wait to see how the finished project turns out but I'm not very hopeful *sigh*

Also Eliza Dushku has just signed a talent deal with Fox. Wouldn't it be something since Fox apparently controls the rights to Faith and has Tim Minear under contract that they'd create a "Faith the Vampire Slayer" series? They could have as guest stars Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Juliet Landau, Mercedes McNab, Alexis Denisoff or any of the other fabulous actors/characters who appeared on either BtVS or Angel. I don't know if Joss Whedon's input or permission would be needed but I'd so much prefer a live action show to those crappy comics *another sigh*

Well remakes are rarely as good as the original and lately it seems to me there's so little original stuff coming out of Hollywood these days. This is especially hard for me as I had such a crush on Michael Rennie/Klaatu back in the day.

I don't know if Eliza/Faith would be too old. They could simply say it was 4 or 5 years post-Chosen and take it from there, perhaps with a new younger Slayer. I know it's probably just a pipedream but I want to see my favorite characters again before they really are too old. The comic books just don't do it for me.
