It could be very funny.

But none of them were about a property that would be almost pointless to adapt and based on a premise that seems almost inert. Really, it would be more like The Producers than Bewitched.
The sum of all the parts of Ephron's movie didn't add up to much. Bewitched isn't a property that lends itself to being funny in a self-referential way.
IMHO, Space 1999 is so unsaleable and so unsalvageable that it seems like fodder for a movie or documentary about the process of trying to reboot it.

Instead of having them going to a new solar system each week--the most ridiculous part of the original--they could be moving at a more reasonable sub-light speed, so the emphasis could be on the dynamics of the lunar survivors, like early Lost, rather than on encounters with weird aliens and whatnot.

1) what hair will Nic Cage go with!?
2) they contact the ailiens by breaking in to the closed down launch site and using the machine from Contact!
3) they DO get word to the president that there's all these thingies flying at earth! and so he cowboys up and leads the F-15's HIMSELF! and they start shooting at the monoliths! BUT-- they run. out. of. missiles! and just as Randy Quaid is about to fly his airplane into the biggest monolith--
4) Jeff Goldblum, a government advisor, and SCIENTIST- whos been against the attack from the start, and pacing around the radar room all this time, grabs the radio from Helmsley and shouts out stuff about how maybe they're here to help, because it's all about chaos theory...or whatever... so they break off the attack.
5) when old Shia is putzing around, confessing his love for Nic Cage (this is the documentery part of the film, we'll use shakey cam, people like that!) and swearing to continue his father's work with communicating with extra terrestrials, BOOM! Optimus Prime explodes from the earth's core, where he's been burried for a million zillion years! and he decides to use the Spark of Imagineering to bring back Nic Cage-- in the form of MoCap Tom Hanks! who proceeds to address the camera and convince the audience that Santa does exist, through a fun little song and dance number. possibly involving a train, and some kidnapped children (also played by Hanks).
BEST. MOVIE. EVER. #2012
