I'm not a big fan of remakes...I mean look at the Italian job classic turned to crappy! However this one will be interesting I want to watch it at least [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
It'll be crap....sequels nearly always are....the one exception I can think of is The Empire Strikes Back....Kershner was smart with that one, he took it off in a different and more dramatic direction....it's maybe not better than the original, but it's as least as good IMO.

I want to see this on the big screen.
I hope they don't tinker with the effects.
Interesting....was never a huge fan, but the effects and some of the concepts were very good....Clarke was a bit of a visionary in that respect, although I preferred the books. He did go off course a bit with some of his later stuff, like 2010 & 2061, but his early stuff was very clever.
There's a compilation of his short stories out there, it's well worth a read....it includes "The Sentinel", which became 2001.
I hope they don't....I watched it, I admit it....but that's because my future wife Vivica Fox was in it.....but she's got all fat now, so she's off limits...her loss (lay off the KFC, mami!)
It was not a very good film....doesn't mean it was bad, it made a ton of money. But every sci-fi film since Star Wars just HAS to include a fighter scene where they fly through a 'trench'....it was awesome when Lucas first did it, but it's so overdone now it's pointless.
