|
Wasn't quite sure where to post this so feel free to move it moderators.
One of my favourite films 'The Andromeda Strain' is now a new
miniseries.Our very own Daniel Dae Kim is in it.
Its a Hollywood remake of a classic (imo) so beware.
Weird to see Kim speak english as I've only ever seen him on Lost. |

Thanks for the heads-up, Tahir!
FYI ... In the US, The Andromeda Strain miniseries will be broadcast on A&E over Memorial Day weekend.

Andromeda Strain!...Yowza!
Crichton is my favorite author. I will have my wife set the DVR now.

Is this the story where the scientific team is assembled, based on one of the main character's academic paper, which he himself does not believe-in?
If I remember correctly, he pretty much wrote the paper to get some grant money or some shallow reason like that ... I can't remember if that is a story element in "The Andromeda Strain" or "Sphere".

Ya know, both the novel and the movie feature one of the greatest (and by greatest, I mean lousy) deus ex machinas of modern memory. I won't spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read/seen/remembered.
Nonetheless, I'll check out the miniseries. It's a great premise, and the movie actually is quite good! Robert Wise directed, didn't he?

@ Matt,
I read the Crichton novel a while back, but I do remember the ending of which you speak ...
