The return of Blake 7?

[King Steve]

From IMDB

 

Hoping to cash in on the success of classic sci-fi revamps such as the BBC's Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica, Sky One is planning to remake cult eighties space series Blake's Seven.

 

Sky has commissioned two 60-minute scripts with the intention of creating a new sci-fi series of the hugely popular show, which followed the intergalactic tales of a small band of rebel fighters struggling to evade the dark forces of the Federation.

*sighs* What I wonder, is are people not capable of writing anything new anymore?

Hitchikers? As in a Guide to the Galaxy?

 

If so, this never was a film. It started as a radio play, then the books were written, five in total:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Life, the Universe and Everything

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Mostly Harmless

 

Then there was the BBC TV series which, even though called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, was actually based on the first 2 books listed above.

 

The 2005 movie was based on the first book only.
