The Spaceshipper 🚀Forbidden Planet, one of cinema's first sci-fi classics, and the spiritual ancestor to Star Trek, premiered SEVENTY years ago today 🤯
"Forbidden Planet was the grandfather of them all. And it could very easily have been a pilot film for Star Trek. It could very easily have been 'We have gone no place where anybody else has ever been yet.'" — Leslie Nielsen (1926-2010) in SFX
A remake is in development, but don't worry—it's just the latest in a long line of remake projects. Plus, Warner is being acquired by Paramount, which is going to change quite a few things.
And besides, you can't say no to a script by Brian K. Vaughan (Dune: Part Three). 😇
