Return to Question

The sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet from 1956 was exceptional. The special effects team were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 29th Academy Awards. The sound track was the first one produced completely electronically. In 2013, the picture was entered into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Two of my favourite scenes were the view down the power station's core from the gangway, and the land speeder seen in the distance. They rival anything Star Wars did in 1979.

For such a masterpiece, were there any derivative works, or even a movie based loosely on possible future plot directions?

I find it remarkable that in a world of remakes, re-dos, sequels and prequels, that nothing has been done with this movie's story line since?

[edit: I am finding it super hard to choose which answer is the suitable one (voice of Lambert: "there can be only one"). Each provides merit to be the answer in a different manner. Why can't we choose multiple answers, even if I'm only credited points for one, the people answering should be rewarded for the various dimensions they've added to the overall answer.]
