Collider posted a new interview with Babylon 5 producer J. Michael Straczynski, in which he talks about his upcoming projects, including his remake of the classic 1956 science fiction movie Forbidden Planet. Here are few excerpts of the article.
Q: How close is Forbidden Planet to the original?
JMS: I think if you're a fan of the original as I am and have always been, I think it's very faithful to that. We've actually decided to show more of the first ship when it first arrived 20 years earlier to sort of counterpoint what's happening in the present story. But Warners is very excited about it, thinks it's a big franchise for them and a huge budget, so they're very much oriented toward getting it done.
Q: Do you have to action it up?
JMS: There's a little more action but it's still a strong character piece because it's based on The Tempest and the idea of a father whose daughter is being courted by, in the original play sailors that are washed up on shore. You need to have that dynamic still in place to respect the original and the source material. So there's a fair amount of talking but there's some really cool action pieces in it as well.
