Colossus remake planned

I don't know if anyone saw the first movie (with George Peppard from The A-Team), but it was interesting, although the technology and special effects were totally dated by the mid-80s.
Quote:
Universal and Imagine Entertainment will remake the 1970 sci-fi saga Colossus: The Forbin Project as a potential directing vehicle for Ron Howard, reports Variety. Brian Grazer will produce. Jason Rothenberg has been set to write the screenplay for a movie to be called Colossus.
Based on a book by D.F. Jones, the original film was a forerunner of movies like Terminator, introducing the idea of a government-built computer that becomes sentient and then takes control.
Rothenberg will use the original's premise as a springboard and will incorporate two subsequent "Colossus" novels written by Jones to hatch a much broader film premise.
After a brainiac designs a supercomputer for the government as a means of protection, the computer decides itself that the most effective way it can act as protector is to assume complete control.

Just another happy Canuckistanian living under the so-called US security umbrella...yes, I'm a sarcastic bastard.
