Im not sure when I found this out but somehow I grew up knowing that the Puppet Masters novel had been made into a corny but campy sci-fi movie decade prior to "The Puppet Masters" movie. THAT movie is called THE BRAIN EATERS.

(THE MISFITS actually dedicated a song to it. In true MISFITS fashion. Haha.)

from Wikipedia:
"The Brain Eaters, a 1958 film directed by Bruno VeSota, bore a number of similarities to Heinlein's novel. Heinlein sued the producers for plagiarism. The case was settled out of court." :)

You can't do a remake when the "original" was not an official adaptation.
