you know, I watched the original last year, and it's aged pretty well. Not that you couldn't update it with all that's happened since 1980, but at the level Sagan was working, it's not that dated.

I'm going to have nightmares of Fox turning this into some kind of abomination that metaphorically spits on Sagan's grave.
