Forbidden Planet is getting made, it's a prequel, like my story I sent in 3 years ago, this sounds exactly like it, my story is a prequel and the technology acquisition idea is the most important part of my story:
" Instead of being set in a far off future, the prequel's actually set in a near future. The technology used to send the Bellerophon to Altair is pretty new, and the way in which mankind gets the knowledge needed to do it is a critical component to the plot. "
the above is an excerpt from a review titled:
