"There's even a rumour someone wants to remake The Lone Ranger! Yikes!"



Been done once already, with Clinton Spilsbury - the producers at the time
forced Clayton Moore to stop doing his supermarket appearances and didn't
give him a part in the movie at all.



The Mission:Impossible movies are a load of rubbish bearing only the title
and theme music in common. They made Jim Phelps a baddie!! They lost the
whole team thing - the master of disguise, the femme fatale, the electronic
wiz, the heavy, the leader.



If you do a remake - it should stick to the established format and
characters, and as much as possible retain the feel of the original while
tying up loose ends. If the fans don't like it - not much chance an
outsider will either. The mania for doing teenaged versions of established
stories is also anathema.



If the UFO movie does get off the ground and manages to look as if it could
be episode 27, then all well and good. If, on the other hand, it comes out
looking like Independence Day - then it is best it not be made at all.
