And conceptually, the original captured a certain moment of 70\’s zeitgeist and projected it into the future. To make the property resonate on that level again, you would need to strip out virtually all of the iconic elements of the original and completely rewire it to reflect a wholly different set of generational aspirations and anxieties. By the time you do that, all you are left with is a title, and then the whole project just becomes a cynical marketing exercise.

Just pass already. Its a disaster waiting to happen and the studio is just throwing good money after bad.

Why does Hollywood love THIS property so much they keep trying to resurrect it, over and over? I\’m a little baffled.
