Suddenly, I have almost no hope for the new movie.
Considering what has been done to The Land of the Lost...

I'm a little unclear how Land of the Lost has anything to do with the rumoured Star Blazers movie...?
shareThe Land of the Lost (1974)
A kids' TV show about a father and his two kids which, though it looks a bit primitive by today's standards, nonetheless had a lot of cool concepts and stuff that still has people thinking decades later.
Turned into a goofball comedy about a loser and two other losers who spend the movie being jerks and freaking out over everything (with apparently a Rick/Holly sex thing thrown in... EEEWWW!!!).
Star Blazers (1979)
An animated TV show from Japan which was turned into a kids' show about saving the Earth from alien attack which, though it looks a bit primitive by today's standards, nonetheless had a lot of cool concepts and stuff that still has people thinking decades later.
Turned into...?

Never mind. I was so busted up over LOTL that I was ready to join the "No More Remakes Club." But hey, there's no reason a Star Blazers movie couldn't be the next Lord of the Rings, instead of the next Land of the Lost.

You and me both, man. The Zarn doesn't want to be anywhere around me when I start thinking of it.
But it looks like the new Uchuu Senkan Yamato movie, out of Japan, is going to turn out cool after all.

Greatest Hope: LOTR
Worst Fear: LOTL
It's getting close to December. Anybody else excited?

Land of the lost was a PARODY, this is a straight up live action version.
shareI think the OP was referring to the version of Starblazers that Disney was working on which they dropped, thankfully.
shareThe OP (me) was being uncharacteristically cynical about any actual or proposed American movie or TV version of this series. I was so busted up over what LOTL could have been, as opposed to what they did to it, that I had no hope of us ever doing right by any TV series from the 1970s.
Really, we don't have a good track record where such things are concerned. We almost always go the "wacky comedy" route, and even when we don't, we screw it up (The Bionic Woman, anyone?). At least Charlie's Angels was fairly entertaining, if not that bright.
I've heard great things about Battlestar Galactica, so that might be an exception. But I really couldn't care less if I tried about BSG, even a good version, so I can't say first-hand.
