I'm sure you're right about the heavy-handed preachiness which will guide the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still." I imagine they'll do the same with "Death Race 2000." Both are works that stand on their own. One reason I hate Hollywood is for the frequency that they go back to the well and re-work great films and suck the soul out of them.

By the way, Star Trex XI is coming out next May, featuring Kirk, Spock, Sulu, and Scotty played by young actors. As an earlier poster pointed out most sci-fi is really better classified as futuristic-fantasy given the complete lack of science. Maybe Trek will be better in this regard if it harkens to the original series' sci/tech morality plays, but I have my doubts.
