Alien Nation will get another chance to make clumsy race-relation analogies
Alien Nation, the film that taught late-’80s moviegoers that aliens who look like Mandy Patinkin wearing a bald cap are people, too, is being remade. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Twentieth Century Fox is developing another version of the 1988 science fiction drama, following the template set by the studio’s successful reinvention of the Planet Of The Apes series.
