Unlike adapting old novels like Swiss Family Robinson?
Lost In Space Series Reboot In Works

SWF was not a culturally hard fixed, single visual work such as the LiS TV series replayed for 50 years.
I liked Roger Corman's Fantastic Four, too. I think that makes me a demographic of Having More Fun Than A Lot Of Folks.
Well I'm sure the exact same argument could have been made about BSG, but they somehow managed to make that remake feel not only relevant but much more interesting and intelligent than the original.
Obviously a lot of LIS's identity right now is about the hammy acting, cheesy aliens, and 60s design, but a really good writer could take that same premise and do something a LOT cooler and more interesting with it I bet.
Well, the original idea behind Lost in Space was to do a survival drama, and we've seen successful instances of that genre in modern times, including a certain J.J. Abrams/Damon Lindelof show.
Put another way, perhaps the way to do a modern Lost in Space is to do Lost... in space.

That's either brilliant or terrible.Put another way, perhaps the way to do a modern Lost in Space is to do Lost... in space.
I have no idea which !
Make that three. The 1998 film was one reboot I actually liked. Still, not as good as the original, but I liked it.

You say that like they're not the same thing...
Yes, I did, my bad. He was so asleep in that, I didn't note his name properly.
They have never had John Hurt, so you should've been fine.
Perhaps you mean William?
(plus JH was very good in Dr Who, that's where I got confused, I think).

I might have liked the 1998 film better if and only if the production design was a recognizable revision of the Jupiter 2(flying saucer) as the 1701 was from TOS/TAS to TMP.
Yeah, as I noted up thread, we got fooled by a kind of "bait and switch". We see something with the overall silhouette of the classic J2 on the launch gantry. we even see it rocket into orbit. But once there, they, in effect, blow it up to reveal the "real" ship.

Which people should have expected since they kept referring to it as the Jupiter 1 while the ship from the show was the Jupiter 2.
IMHO.
With the world in the shape it is in presently - whole families, hell, entire populations! - on the run and with no hope of really "getting back"; with economies struggling to support any semblance of functionality; with time-tested roles of countries and currencies suddenly changing places and prominences, I think a movie chronicling a family found, then lost, then found again through trial and struggle and strength (and death) would be
Just.
About.
Right.
right now...
but, do NOT fuck with the design of the Robot or the Jupiter 2

I'm not sure, since I only saw the John Woo pilot once some years ago, but I think its conceit was that the J2 was one of a whole bunch of landing craft attached to a much larger colony ship, and that it was the only one that jettisoned intact when the colony ship was destroyed by aliens.

I actually think Corman's F4 movie is decent, as well.
3 (And I also enjoyed John Carter of Mars)
Our population is rising. I could quibble about stuff, but I rewatch all of these movies from time-to-time.
