Why are movies, that introduced new provocative ideas back in the 60s and 70s, called 'cheesy?' Can you youngsters even understand the impact this movie made back then? Computers were largely the domain of government and large corporations and a mystery to ordinary people. Plus, we were facing off with the Soviets in a Cold War. Suggesting that world powers were building massive computers to control everything was frightening.

Wikipedia:

"Imagine Entertainment and Universal Studios confirmed that a remake titled Colossus, to be directed by Ron Howard, would be in production as of April 2007,[5] but was delayed for years. In October 2010, the project moved forward with the announcement that Will Smith will star in the lead role, with the script being written by James Rothenberg.[6] In July 2011, Variety reported that Universal replaced Rothenberg with Blake Masters of Law & Order: LA to do a new draft of the script"

The yungins don't get it. As it stands, Colossus/Guardian is the most powerful megalomanical machine that ever existed. Eats WOPRs for breakfast.

Last I read, Ron Howard had been signed on to direct and Will Smith had signed on to star in the remake of this film. That was something like a year ago.
