1997 Denise Richards and Dina Meyer absolutely mog any actress working right now. I'd say both of them are at least 9s.
Clearly there are scores of other reasons any remake is doomed, but that's the most obvious one. In the age of DEI, superhumanly attractive women are extinct.
A lot of comments alluded to it, but I'm surprised no one explicitly called out the concept of "fascism" for why this will fail.
The 1997 version is a well-known parody and critique of fascism.
Essentially this remake is doomed from the start because you can't sublimate 50s fash to 90s fash to 2025 fash.
It's was heavily politicized from a left-progressive angle, treated women as superior pilots (relegating men to the front lines as grunts) and had 'unisex' communal showers.
Also, the original book had the entire cast as Filipinos or something, which means they will most likely turn everyone 'brown' (except for the obligatory one white guy that has to suffer through humiliation rituals in order to regarded as human) and claim that it was always the original author's intent.
