Via a press release:
ABC Television has picked up IDT Entertainment’s drama series “Masters of Science Fiction,� featuring works from some of the most well known authors of science fiction, the network announced today. Negotiations are underway to include works from Isaac Asimov (author of “I Robot� and “Nightfall�), Ray Bradbury (“The Martian Chronicles,� “Fahrenheit 451�), Harlan Ellison (“A Boy and His Dog,� “Jeffty is Five�) and Robert Heinlein (“The Puppet Masters,� “Stranger in a Strange Land�). IDT Entertainment, in association with Industry Entertainment, will produce a minimum of four one-hour episodes.
I don’t see how anyone could fit “Stranger in a Strange Land” into a one-hour telecast, especially with commercials. I’ve always thought that “The Puppet Masters” would be a good novel to turn into a television series, perhaps on the SciFi Channel.
