Echelon Conspiracy, Eagle Eye, + Colossus: The Forbin Project.

I'm putting this in three groups: Echelon Conspiracy (2009), Eagle Eye (2008) and Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970).

Are the two new ones a remake of the old one? (Or at least inspired by it?)

As I understand it, Echelon and Eagle went into production about the same time. Interesting they are so similar, but apparently independently arrived at. (There's another thread for that discussion.) Here I'm just curious who thinks there's a relation between Forbin and Echelon/Eagle.
