Well, the original did not need a remake. Nevertheless, the remake
was done well enough and managed to incorporate some more modern
context. Now if they really wanted to hit some hot buttons and
generate a lot of buzz, they could have had Andromeda be an anti gay
virus developed by an ultra right wing religious organization of the
future...
