He remarked that a remake would have been a waste of time since the original message still stood up and that instead they should have looked at doing a sequel. He felt that the original warning had not taken and that we were still a possible threat to any alien races. What he wanted to do was a film where the descendent of Klaatu returned to Earth and gives us a ultimatium of reducing our hostilities to each other and account for all nuclear weapons, and possible material from which said weapons could be made, within a limited amount of time or action will be taken to reduce the threat of humanity to the universe. I have to agree with this approach. Have Klaatu show up and inform the world leaders that the methods they have been using in running the world have casused new worries among the civilized races of the galaxy. In order to reduce the questions rased by the various races the "intergalatic police" have decided to limit the degree that we have to make war. Imagine a world that had its weapons tech suddenly reduce to pre-WWII.</blockquote>
