Why Don't They Do a New Quatermass TV series or Feature Film Project?

I think ive seen that film already.

I think The 58 Quatermass and the Pit serial does exist on a US compatible dvd format?

Supposedly they were going to do a Quatermass and the Pit Remake back in the 1990's but it never materialized.

I have never been much of a Quatermass fan, tv or books.

On the other hand, would love to see The Stone Tapes being remade by the BBC! That was one awesome, and despite the shaky 70's effects genuinely chilling story. The whole idea of stone walls acting as a recording medium for a horrific event in the past, and that event in fact having recorded over an evil, something much, much worse, was a brilliant idea.

Felt very futuristic at the same time, in an age of tape, with CD etc far in the future you have a team experimenting with things like crystals for storing audio and video.

There is a Japanese ripoff edition of the original 58 black and white series. I bought it but it will only play on my computer. The Hammer 70's remake, " 5 Million years to Earth" is available but expensive. Multiple copies are around on Ebay.

The film is a science fiction classic whys so hard to get and so expensive? Why don't they reissue it?
