    OK, so it's miners on a distant moon that made outland unique? Because the basic plot premise - a High Noon retread - could be adapted to any place with outlaws and lone man upholding justice. Sure, Outland was great. But it came from better source material.

    Outland is wonderful, but it really is (as many have pointed out) High Noon set in space. Sure hope this isn't a Pluto Nash rewrite.

    I am glad that many of yo u are really seeing the drek YARM and we all agree that hollywood sucks.
    now you all should just go and boycott them like i do.nearly every DVD i own was bought in used like new condition.i also never purchase anything of music from labels/artists who sign with the RIAA.
    i hate both the RIAA & MPAA and lately i am seeing more and more films from my past being raped by corporate studios instead of producing more new entertainment.

    i just want to give the least amount of money i have to give to a very greedy and corrupt industry.

    And I am glad to see more and more folks out there using YARM and maybe even spending less.

    This is as stupid as remaking Silent Running. Except it doesn't have robots. Or green houses. Or a plot.

    I remember seeing Outland in the theaters and liking it a lot. But does that affection extend widely enough so that it really has a "brand" for a new film to capitalize on? Or is it more likely to piss off the Connery film fans while sounding "old" to everyone else?

    I would be irritated because I love the first outland and its father High Noon, but really whats the point. I will go see it when it comes out and all the bitching in the world won't stop it being made.

    This just doesn't sound like Outland at all.

    I thought the whole point of Outland was that it was supposed to be a scifi version of High Noon?

    I'm heading into YARM territory here, but it's not really a remake, which makes it even more confusing.

    I need some aspirin.

    The best part of Outland is Connery talking through the door to the hostage-taker. Especially if you say "Trebek" at the appropriate times.
