Don't quite know how they think they'll improve on the 1980s versions!

Prepare for a pretty, politically correct, cross section of survivors :rolleyes:

Was a classic.

They will either make it look better with better visuals/effects.

or

Ruin it (dont know if I spelt that right)

would be a shame if they ruined it
wish somebody would remake the tripods (film coming?)they only made 2 series out of the trilogy , ran out of cash still watch it now (series 2 was never officially released on any kind of media)

Salt water > Triffids

The 1980s BBC TV version is the definitive version IMHO!

I smell another 'Merlin'....

I love the original Triffids film. Scared the crap out of me as a child and I still panic every time I go into the greenhouses in Kew Gardens

Plants can't walk.

Original was great though.

Yep! A nice 'safe' PC production

They will be working hard to beat John Duttine's performance.

IIRC, his beard received critical acclaim.

Survivors aint too bad so if they keep it for the older audiences then it could work.

If they aim it towards the younger audience then it will be another robin hood/merlin!
