Sounds like a journalist recycling a press release written by someone with no experience with science fiction.  That's the sort of thing that pr writers write, not journalists.  (And I'm speaking as a pr writer)

And there's no way you can "reinvent the genre" simply by remaking an old tv show, however appealing you make it.
