A remake of Lifeforce set in modern-day society could explore the chilling concept of aliens operating undercover among humans, draining soul energy, and using world governments to regulate laws and societal norms that secretly allow life force extraction. This covert alien influence would permeate daily products and services, which are engineered to harvest and collect residual life energy from humans—energy that the aliens then follow up on for harvesting.

Plot Core: Hidden alien entities masquerade as influential figures in governments and corporations worldwide. They have embedded themselves in systems that regulate daily life, ensuring laws and technologies facilitate the continuous extraction of human "lifeforce essence" disguised in consumables, communications, and even digital interactions.

Modern Mechanisms of Control: Unlike the original film’s direct vampiric attacks, this version emphasizes systematic, indirect draining via everyday products and services—ranging from pharmaceuticals and food additives to pervasive electromagnetic devices that subtly sap human vitality.

Governmental and Corporate Conspiracy: World governments, under alien influence, enforce regulations and policies that normalize and mandate such extraction, framing it as necessary for "human health, security, or progress," while masking the sinister truth.

Alien Psyops and Hybrid Agents: The aliens employ psychic manipulation and genetic hybridization to maintain control over humanity’s perceptions, fostering division and complacency to prevent organized resistance. These hybrids ascend to positions of power, further entrenching alien agendas.

Human Resistance Theme: The narrative follows a group of scientists, ex-military operatives, or ordinary individuals who uncover the truth and organize resistance. Their challenge is not only to expose the alien presence but to dismantle the sophisticated societal systems that feed and protect the extraterrestrial parasites.
