Holy crap, they remade Edge of Darkness??!!
The original series was fantastic, though at a glacial pace for modern audiences.
They can't have kept most of the plot; it was too complex.
Also the original plot was about the UK with the US getting involved. I cannot see the same situation working in reverse due to the precise nature of the relationship between the two- though I note that this one has Ray Winston as a Brit in the US, where the original had Joe Don Baker as a Yank in the UK.

Other then the spoiler issue, it would involve explaining rather a lot.
I suspect the film has cut out the bit about the flowers and the Gaia hypothesis too. I note the film is about
Spoiler:, and the very complicated chain of interests created between the US and the UK.
nuclear weapons, which I suppose makes it more direct. The original was about nuclear production of any sort

Live film is out, there's talk of it being made as an animation, with Mel supplying the voice to the character.
Mad Max 4 as an animated movie, be interesting if its pulled off..

is the original probably something that should not have been remade?
Amusing, animated review for it on Spill. 😄

👇 This movie left me very disappointed,I am quite surprised it got good reviews from the critics,I was expecting big things,what I got was a movie that was just overcomplicated and overlong,I found it way to ''political'' and just way too complicated for the sort of movie it was.I found myself bored,and waiting for it to finish,there was a couple of good scenes here and there,but mostly this movie was lame,seriously.
