I read the second novel and didn't find it interesting. I never bothered with the third.
And I don't find Will Smith all that interesting either. I somehow don't see him as carrying off the scientist role as did Eric Braeden.

Colossus is one of my favorite movies. I can’t see Smith in the Forbin role, either. Braeden was perfect for that role. I imagine we’ll get a lot of blow it all up, major league special effects, when the original just allowed your mind to do the work.

I got a better idea.
Why don’t they adapt H. Beam Piper’s “The Cosmic Computer” (aka “Junkyard Planet”) instead?

Colossus: The Forbin Project is one of the greatest SciFi flicks of all time.

Casting Will Smith as the star in Independence Day ruined what had the potential to be a really great movie.

It HAS been a couple of years since Will Smith saved the world.

What’s next? A remake of “Zardoz” starring Matt Damon?

All I ever see in a Will Smith movie, is a hip, lightweight, TV actor named Will Smith.

I loved the Colossus movie. So much so, I bought the trilogy. You are correct, the second book is not as good as the first, the third was not as good as the second. Still some interesting ideas though, so I still enjoyed them.
There were some parts of the second book that were VERY un-PC (Forbin's wife sent away for "punishment"), no way anything like that would be allowed today...

Be on the lookout for them to cast Colossus as the World Wide Web that has been taken over by right-wing bloggers and FRee Republic and the good guys as the Dinosaur Media who have been put out of business.

It’s a Ron Howard, I would not pay one cent to see something he puts together. Plus ANOTHER remake! BOO! And Will Smith = so what and boring. It sure won’t be on my list of things to watch, ever

And if this falls through, Will Smith will star in the Tyler Perry-directed remake of “Soylent Green”, called “Soul Brother Wafers.”
