As far as the possibility of another remake, you have to keep in mind that DreamWorks owns the worldwide movie rights to The Time Machine until those expire in 2017 ! Most people don't realize that Wells's writings are still protected by copyright in Europe, while all of his early writings are in the public domain in North America. This means that, although any American producer could make another movie adaptation of The Time Machine and show it locally, he could not distribute it worldwide unless he works out an agreement with DreamWorks or... waits until 2017 ! |
