I was thinking about this and Honestly, this film doesn't need a modern-day remake. Everything brought up in this film easily translates to issues we are still dealing with today. Usually remakes unless, being strictly cash grabs have the goal of either translating ideas into the modern day to give them new context or coming at those ideas from a completely new perspective. The thing is with this film the remake could only rehash the same issues. They really couldn't change the context without completely changing the film so a remake could ONLY be redundant for this film. Nope. If you remember when Dr No is discussing his plans with Bond he states that the Island and mission here are TEMPORARY. Once the mission had been completed which was to mess up the next rocket test, Dr No would move on to another mission and location. So, it didn't matter to him if he offed more MI6 agents because the operation was temporary to him. Well, their kids are... Actually, the shooting script that the actors all signed on for was an ALOT closer to the games and billed as a Fantasy film closer in tone to "the princess bride". As soon as the ''directors'' were hired they started changing the script daily leading to what we have now... Personally a fan of "the omega man" myself, but I believe he is referencing the show "Last man on earth". The main character is nicknamed "Tandy". Good show although it does get a little stupid towards the end of the series. Kinda gave me a chuckle that you confused the work of the great Vincent price for Will Forte... View all replies >
