Years and years ago I pitched an idea for a FORBIDDEN PLANET sequel that went no further than a D-girl at MGM. The idea was to cast Leslie Nielsen and Anne Francis in their original roles, only aged since the events in the first movie. Nielsen had retired from the space patrol, the two married and became colonists on a new world, Altaira bearing four daughters in the process.

The Krell, however, were not dead but had been roaming the nether regions of the universe. When they realize Altair-4 had been destroyed their disembodied intellects come back and begin looking for the guilty parties.

My big reveal would have been that Altaira was not Morbius' biological child but rather a living being he had created with the Krell mind machine. Her daughters were half-human/half-Krell and the end would have been a big psionic duke-out.
