Hollywood has missed a trick.


Truly, had this been remade today using the tools available (live action) with a good script, screenplay and DIRECTOR this could have been massive.

I think taking it away from the kiddy route it is now stuck in (I ken, it was originally created for children, but so was Avengers and that appealed to all), made a wee bit grittier and DIDNT focus on IR in its infancy, it could be have been brilliant. Paying homage to the original series but dropping some of the (in todays society) lame parts would have been required.

Shame, with the crappy remake film and the new show starting, I think Hollywood have missed a trick.
