Greatest Sci-Fi movies never made – filmed a couple of years later

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 19:12:49 +0000

I just took at look at this book: The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made from 2001 by David Hughes. He investigates his own questions; Why are the best Sci-Fi plots still unfilmed? He answers the questions via hundreds of interviews with screenwriters, directors, producers and designers. He even sneaked into studios to discover the chaos that rules while filming complex sci-fi scenes.

David mentions a lot of movies that could have been and the funny thing is that many of those movies actually have been made during the time since he published his book. On the back cover of ‘The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made’ David lists a handful of unmade movies, but hey – I know those, I have seen them!

Night Skies – this was made in 2007

Watchmen – released 2009

I am Legend – in cinemas 2007

Aliens versus Predator – saw this in 2003

Cyberfiction: After the Future

Cyberfiction: After the Future explores a place where cybernetics sets the terms for society, life and culture—our world of ubiquitous info-tech, instantaneous capital flows, and immanent catastrophe. Economics fuses with technology to create a new kind of speculative fiction: cyberfiction. Paul Youngquist reveals the ways in which J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and William Gibson, among others, map a territory where information reigns supreme and the future is becoming a thing of the past.
