X-Message-Number: 9166 Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 18:46:25 -0800 From: Peter James <> Subject: Re: ABC TELEVISION FEB 26TH My novel HOST for which I had much deeply appreciated help from several people and organisations involved in the fields of cryonics and life extension, has been made into a 3-hour television movie, premiering on ABC network across the USA on Thursday, February 26th, under the title of VIRTUAL OBSESSION. ABC are giving it their entire prime time viewing for that evening. Scripted by Preston Sturges Jnr and Mick Garris, directed by Mick Garris (The Shining and The Stand) it stars Peter Gallagher, Mimi Rogers, Bridgette Wilson (I Know What You Did Last Summer) Robert Vaughan (The Man From UNCLE) and Jake Lloyd, a terrific child actor who has a major role in the forthcoming Star Wars film. The novel is about a scientist's search for immortality thru cryonics and thru artificial intelligence. I'm over the moon with the film adaption - it has been stunningly made and is deeply faithful to the theme I wanted to address in the novel, that living forever is going to become a reality. I hope everyone who watches enjoys it, and I would welcome comments. Peter James Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=9166
