The Andromeda Strain Is Coming!
Written on March 18, 2008 by Vic Holtreman
We haven't heard much about the upcoming A&E mini-series based on Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain in almost a year.
Well guess what? It's almost upon us and A&E just put out a trailer for the two part TV movie.
The original movie, for it's time, blew me away. It was really terrifying and was the first movie based on a Michael Crichton novel. This was LONG before Jurassic Park. Personally, I'm ecstatic to see a Crichton story back in movie form; I'm pretty sure he's on some Hollywood blacklist for his views contradicting so-called "Global Warming™" (now being referred to as "Climate Change" as more and more data comes out to refute it, but I digress).
Although this is a cable TV movie, it's got some heavy names behind it, including Ridley Scott & Tony Scott.
Ridley Scott Re-Infects The Andromeda Strain
Written on May 8, 2007 by Vic HoltremanRidley Scott & Tony Scott are getting together to do a remake of the movie The Andromeda Strain, based on the Michael Chrichton novel from way back when.
Sorry folks, but it's not a theaterical release: It will be a 4 hour miniseries for the cable network A&E. Tom and Ridley are not involved in directing, but are co-producing.
