“The online community of sci-fi fans can’t quite agree on what they think of Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, an upcoming remake of an obscure but treasured Russian film. Some have high hopes. … But many purists dread the new Solaris, which stars George Clooney and will be released Nov. 27. They worry that Soderbergh will trample on two sacred sci-fi texts: the 1961 novel by Stanislaw Lem and the 1971 film by Andrei Tarkovsky.” Wired Even though I am a big fan of the Tarkovsky film, I’m looking forward to this. I’m just not expecting it to be a remake.
