"Science fiction is a powerful format capable of visualizing the human condition in thought-provoking ways,"

You'd think if it were such a "powerful format" they could come up with something NEW, for heavens' sake.

They should do a series on the H. Beam Piper, Terro-Human Future History. Since his work is now largely public domain it won't cost much. But then again he was conservative, the villains are almost always government bureaucrats and do gooders and the heroes solve problems by killing the bad guys. The libs run Hollywood aren't likely to embrace that sort of storyline, but audiences sure as heck would.

Or at least find something more off-beat to "re-imagine".

Tough to find a new version of the Doublemint Twins, though.
