They've clearly already started hiring for 7 virgins and a mule.

Those involved seem reputable, I hope they don't f#@k it up. Might we see CP in a cameo as a crotchety old timer, perhaps a carney at the macabre carnival, who still remembers a time before the perfect machine? Or maybe a carnival busker, burdened with post apocalyptic musical instruments surgically implanted to various parts of his body. Forcibly making (music?) with every body movement. Oh, and they are synthesized of course.

TARKUS was screaming out for a film adaptation. As for this, will probably be a decade in pre-production hell. Producers and executives changing hands. If it ends up ripping off the "ideas" of the Will We Rock You Musical it'll be a waste of time.
Would rather this film than another sodding biopic however! But really, Karn Evil 9. Look at the lyrics. How could you make that into a good film? At least with TARKUS there's the angle of how was it constructed? What was behind the forces attacking them and why did they need to build that Aardvark, armadillo tank combination? As opposed to "We built a machine called Karn Evil 9 and it's turned against us somehow!". Although if they incorporate Emerson's compositions into or completely use Emerson's compositions, then at least the soundtrack will be a must buy! |

Now Karn Evil 9 that incorporates TARKUS? Yeah, that would be more like it. But not getting hopes or giving it attention until something actually gets done with it.

Hi,
And H. R. Giger will be conveniently forgotten so they don't have to pay for an "artist" ... just like they did that one movie to Roger Dean! I'm kinda glad I will never have the chance to see this ... but who knows ... get a decent director instead of a Hollywood stooge, and we might end up with something!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

If this is real then I hope it doesn't turn out like the movie based on an IQ album.

Great music - but never the strongest concept - I'll be very intrigued to see how they turn it into a cohesive film!

It's a sad day when we need a movie to turn younger folks on to older prog. But I get it. These days most younger folks(even ones already into prog)barely seem to know who Yes is or even Genesis. I'm on a few prog discussion forums on reddit and all I see is postings of these newer prog metal and fringe prog and indie-ish prog bands(Thank You Scientist etc), rarely anything past the last five years and rarely any older prog except Pink Floyd and Rush. Occasionally Camel but that's only because Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth has cited them as an influence.

There are so many good sci-fi novels and short stories that are far better than the lyrics of that song to base a film on.....talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I hear you. Still waiting for Rendezvous with Rama. I wasn't too thrilled about another go at Dune, but since Denis Villeneuve's directing, I will watch it. His films are gorgeous.

Yeah, I bet Blue Oyster Cult has some lyrics that would make a good sci fi movie too(and they had an actual Sci Fi writer contributing to their lyrics).

Sci-Fi is very fluid so it won't stick too closely to the music I suspect and will just end up being totally unrecognisable to anything connected with it . The concept was already loosely adapted for the very underrated sci-f film Logan's Run ( that must be due for a reboot?) and of course the part organic , part machine Tarkus was developed in Alien.
