About 25 years ago, Ray Bradbury wrote a treatment for a sequel to The Day The Earth Stood Still. And here is that treatment!

They don't write 'em like that any more.

I can’t express how wonderful it is to see this. Thank you, philnic!

I just noticed the date Ray wrote this treatment. Not September 10th or 12th but September 11, 1981.

Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto were all characters featured in the original Star Wars Trilogy.(They were even made into SW Action Figures by Hasbro!) Perhaps this was an honor paid by George Lucas to Science Fiction Classics from the past.

Thank you, greenray. Absolutely fascinating. It never dawned on me about those names. I have to go check this out.

Reviving my own five-year-old thread to point y'all to my blog post about Bradbury's KLAATU sequel!
