shareWith all the remakes going on these days I'm not totally surprised about this. Saturn 3 has potential to be remade well with today's CGI capabilities and to have the story worked into a little into something more exciting. Firstly though, they need to fix that horrible ship at the start of the movie with a modernised kick-ass design - the original looks like it was put together in a couple of hours with rubbish. I could never work out what those claws were at the back, thruster pylons or docking clamps perhaps ? The gigantic communications antenna dish looks like it was not stuck on properly and is half hanging off ! Oh, and please, no bare-ass naked shots of the character that Kirk Douglas played. Keep the airlock scene, but show Benson putting those wires across the airlock - expand on the reasons why he is doing this in the first place. I guess I could rant on about many other things too but I'm sure that James Cameron and Co will fix all the flaws that every viewer of this movie has thought of.
As for Arnold playing Hector - would he do it ? He may only just make a cameo in Terminator 4 so I'm having trouble believing he would play a main role in this movie. I'm prepared to be surprised though.
I honestly think the robot should remain a robot, not an android. I think that dilutes the whole point of the story, at first its only metal and wires, but after its "direct input" from Keitel, it starts to act human. If it already looks like a human, the change in behaviour wont have the same amount of creepy impact ! And yeah,i can do without some old actors bare arse hanging out !
shareGood points !
Maybe Hector should look like one of those robots out of I-Robot ?
They could still use Arnold's facial features and expressions but keep the body of the robot very machine-like. I always liked the vein fluid being pumped into Hector's tubes, that was creepy - as was the brain-case. I don't know, maybe just update the look of Hector to be more 21st Century and more accepting to today's movie-going public.
I like the original design a lot, but i think your right, its got to be brought up to date for modern audiences, got to keep the liquid moving through the "veins" though, that was inspired. The only thing i'm worried about is that they turn it into scurrying CGI creation, running up walls and across ceilings, i feel the slow and deliberate movements add to its menace.
