Is it true Frost and Fire is on deck to be made into a feature? Peter Jackson would do a fine job.

Ray apparently has written a script based on FROST AND FIRE. However, I am not aware that any film based on the story has been announced as going into production.

Did anyone else know anything about this?

And again.

Hi Doug,
I saw it on youtube some time ago.
Did not know amazon had it on DVD. Hope its better quality.
Its really amazing!

Cool. Then I shall watch it!

Doug, I knew about it - bought it on a horrendously expensive VHS tape some years ago. I too hope the DVD is better quality (but I have no intention to apy again for something I already own!)

Some reviewers at the time of its original release (1983) said it was the best ever film adaptation of a Bradbury story. Harlan Ellison (your favourite nutty guy) reviewed it in his old F&SF column and said something to that effect, if I recall correctly.

I don't know if I would go quite that far, but it is one of the better adaptations. I don't think it has aged well, however. What seemed fairly timeless in 1983 now looks (and particularly SOUNDS) very much of its era.

First I'd heard of it.
