Please excuse me, I misspoke. What I was referring to was screenwriters and their wanting creative control (over the finished filmed product). Ellison’s screenplay was great, but it couldn’t be filmed as he wrote it. No question that Roddenberry frequently took credit for most Trek related things when it was many other people that played a part.
Curiously, now with this Trek reboot, Ellison might be able to get it filmed the way he wrote it if they were to use it for a movie.
Dear fieldmarshaldj,
We have reached a point of equal agreement.
“The Guardian of Forever” -is- the stuff for movies, even with today’s ‘cg’ additions.
Do you think with today’s ST cast, they could pull it off? It was hard for me to get around the bald evil guy, consideriong he was ‘Hector’, ‘Hulk’, and in ‘Munich’. Who would fill the shoes of a young Joan Collins?
Harlan’s lecture/speeches are on CD, as well as his movie, “Dreams with Sharp Teeth”.
HNY!!
