Gonna start with Raumpatrouille Orion / Space Patrol Orion, a German scifi classic from 1966. Had nice ideas, good sfx & sets for its time (same era as Star Trek TOS), awesome soundtrack. Would really like to see a proper remake of that.

>In the series, nations no longer exist and Earth is united. Flying saucers, such as spaceship Orion, are flown by humans, whilst the aliens fly fighter jet-like aircraft. The titular ship of the series title, "Spaceship Orion", (German: "Raumschiff Orion") is portrayed as being a fast space cruiser (German: Schneller Raumkreuzer), the newest starship in mankind's fleet and the fastest spacecraft ever created by humans.
>The show tells the story of Commander Cliff Allister McLane (Dietmar Schönherr), an Earth starship captain and his loyal crew. He is Orion's commander in the developing war against an alien race called the Frogs. He is notoriously defiant towards his superiors.

First Episode (with ENG subs):

OST:

I'm going to post some additional pics of crew & ship as well as some of the set & sfx creations and other related stuff in this thread.

Which classic SciFi series / movies would you like to see reborn?

This is one of the original models of the Orion btw. They built 3 models in different sizes (between 30cm & 1,6m), made out of wood, aluminum & plexiglas.

>As the series' budget was comparatively low, the set designers resorted to using modified common everyday objects; for instance, electric irons, inverted clock pendulums, washing-machine console parts and designer pencil sharpeners were used as props control panels, sewing thread coils and banana plugs as futuristic machine parts, and plastic cups as ceiling lights.

>Orion's cockpit was a 2.50m high, 10m wide interior set, built within a 28m exterior diameter sound stage. It stood on a 60 cm high metal tube construction to hide the 10,000m cable harness that connected its 3,200 flashing light bulbs to a 40 kg, electric motor-driven pinned-barrel mechanical sequencer.

The Orion starting from the underwater homebase on Earth.

To create this effect the producers used a bowl of water, a fizzy tablet and placed the tiniest of the ship models in front of the bowl.

For the love of god, please no remake.
Raumpatrouille is about the last decent Sci-Fi related memory of my childhood that has not been tainted by the cancer that are unnecessary sequels and remakes. Also it would be next to impossible to make a Sci-Fi movie / show with a decent budget in todays Germany. Just thinking about how the Bundes-Filmförderung would react to that pitch is hillarious.

Fuck the cucked, cancerous and almost non existant german film industry and their federal minions then. Let professionals do it instead.

>>85180729
Why just 1 season with 7 episodes?
>Yet another impediment might have been that the controllers in charge at the state television channel ARD feared accusations of an excess of "militarism" and a portrayal of a system "akin to fascism". While this might seem far-fetched for Americans, this issue was and is very sensitive in Germany with regards to the past history of the country, and executive producer Helmut Krapp admitted that the issue was considered and taken seriously

all the german professionals went to hollywood.
Roland Emmerich and his contemporaries rebooting Orion would be a nightmare.

Also you severely overestimate the antifa.

>>85184556
That's what I meant, let Hollywood do it. Emmerich would do a great job too. I'm quite sure however that he wouldn't do any kind of series though.
