I'm sure it will go just as well as the "Robocop" and "Total Recall"
remakes.

Although, I dunno... maybe they'll actually add in powered
battle-armor this time? You know, the thing that the novel is most
famous for? 

But you have to feel for these poor Sony executives; what else are
they supposed to do? It's not like they have any other options but to
remake 30-year old movies. There are only a handful of science-fiction
stories ever written, and there's been nothing new since 1997. If only
there had been a huge influx of written sci-fi in the last 28 years,
but alas, only 66-year old tales are available...

But maybe we'll get some good games out of it.
