Agreed but since they're incapable of producing new creative works, they try to bank on tried and true movies. Sad, I cannot help to think that there's no way they could improve on this classic.

This is where it should be pointed out that what needs to be remade are bad movies.

I also don't know how this movie would work today. They'd better do a serious reimagining, because while it's a classic and its message was perfect for its time, being lectured by an interplanetary space cop that we'd better not wreck things by nuking each other just doesn't carry across today...

1) Classic movies should not be remade.
2) Canoe as Klaatu? Nooooooo! I don't know what makes the baby jebus cry more: remaking tDtESS or casting Canoe in a remake of tDtESS. Both are travesties.
3) I cannot even begin to imagine how preachy this movie is going to be. Not like the original had a ton of subtlety in it, but Hollywood will find way to make it amazingly less subtle and exceptionally preachy in a hamfisted sort of way. Maybe they can subtitle the movie with major plot points just to make sure everyone 'gets it'.

Maybe they should've cast AlGore as Klaatu. He's as wooden as Canoe and twice as preachy. But then again, AlGore coming out of a flying saucer really doesn't seem that far fetched.

Sure, but for many many years now, well before the writer's strike, Hollywood was having difficulty producing any new.
