I am a machine vastly superior to humans

Colossus: The Forbin Project is a terrifying tale about free will and what it means to be Human. Nicole of course, thinks the computer is awesome and people shouldn't make their own decisions. Sort of an "I for one welcome our new computational overlords" thing. I think that she espouses this viewpoint just to get a rise out of me, but regardless, she will be thrilled to know that Brian Grazer is slated to produce a Colossus remake.

What I didn't know is that the author wrote a follow-up book, called "Colossus: The Fall of Colossus" which never got made into a movie. Can a movie re-make have an original sequel? Will they change the Russian computer to a Chinese one? Will it suck (note: probably)? Will they use an iPhone to hack into W.O.P.R. (hint, the password is "Joshua")... oops, wrong movie.
