7 Sci-Fi Series Ripe for Movie Reboots

Posted by Johnny Cat in Movies & SciFi, Video Clips on November 19, 2009 at 4:44 pm

space1999Cinematical has a list of ideas for making movies based on classic 20th century TV shows.  A couple of these I’d never seen, but I definitely remember tuning in to see Martin Landau and company fight to survive each week on Moonbase Alpha (Space:1999, pictured).

The list includes Earth 2, The Six Million Dollar Man, and others with video clips of their opening sequences.  Here’s author Kevin Kelley’s take on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century:

We just want to see Buck back on the big screen, where he has never really been (the original TV pilot was edited into a theatrical release). Toss some up and coming young star with good looks and a strong chin in this, and revamp everything. Just keep the cool laser pistols in it, and for god’s sake don’t let Buck disco.

An impressive fan-made intro to that show…   Link to Cinematical.

Hari Puttar: Bollywood's Answer to Harry Potter and Home Alone

Posted by Alex in Movies & SciFi on December 21, 2008 at 1:17 pm

What happens when Bollywood combines Harry potter and Home Alone? Here’s Hari Puttar – A Comedy of Terrors, directed by Lucky Kohli.

The movie is about a ten year old Indian boy named Hari Prasad Dhoonda, nicknamed Hari Puttar (Puttar means "son" in Punjabi), who was left home when his parents go on vacation. Just like Home Alone, Hari soon has to face burglars who wanted to steal his father’s secret formula.

Given the similarity to its movies, Warner Bros. decided to sue but the case was thrown out by Indian courts on the grounds that the public would be able to tell the difference and Warner had waited too long to file their case.
