Does Warner Bros. not own the movie making rights? C'mon, combine the ominous hero with cool effects and get Quatermass and the Pit remade - have someone like Robin Williams (he can do the accent) play Quatermass. C'mon, let's go! Yee-haw!

If they made a new Quatermass then he should be played by someone like John Rhys-Davies.

I have always thought that John Rhys-Davies would be good in the role, also.

Afaik Hammer films owns the filming rights for the first 3 stories, I think the BBC had to ask Hammer for filming rights when they did this live version, I may be wrong though.

The BBC had original rights to broadcast for tv. Hammer might had rights to make film versions.

One series of Quatermass was on ITV in 1979.

Its that man again!!
