Netflix will be producing a 10-episode remake of the 1960's Sci Fi series 'Lost in Space'. The show is scheduled to premiere in 2018.

LIS originally aired on CBS in 1965, and ran for three seasons and 83 episodes. It followed the adventures of the Robinson family, a group of explorers who are diverted from their trip to a new home planet, by saboteur Dr. Zachary Smith. Their ship, the Jupiter 2, veers off course, and the crew is, well, lost in space. The show celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2015.

A movie remake starring John Hurt was released in 1998; it received a 27% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. In other words, pretend it never existed.

No casting or story lines have been announced, but we'll keep you updated when production begins.

In Memoriam: Alvin Toffler

7/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Alvin Toffler, the author of Future Shock and other works predicting social, economic and technological change, has died at the age of 87.  He died June 27, 2016, at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

Future Shock (1970) argued that economists who believed the rise in prosperity of the 1960s was just a trend were wrong - and that it would continue indefinitely.

The Third Wave, in 1980, was a hugely influential work that forecast the spread of emails, interactive media, online chat rooms and other digital advancements.

But among the pluses, he also foresaw increased social alienation, rising drug use and the decline of the nuclear family.

Toffler also predicted things that have not yet come to pass, like cities beneath the waves, and space colonies. He is survived by his wife, Heidi, with whom he collaborated on many of his books.
