Masters of Science Fiction
"A series adapting science-fiction stories by well-known authors into 60 45 minute episodes, introduced by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. Stories filmed included those of science fiction authors Robert Heinlein & Robert Sheckley, historical novelist Howard Fast and mystery novelist Walter Mosley."
Six episodes in the first season, I hope there will be more. There are quite a few faces you'll recognize.
As much as I love Heinlein, I think Little Brother was the best. Maybe I just know Jerry Was a Man too well.
Not the biggest budget, and the screen plays have been updated to include modern references. But, it's not Space Opera or shoot-em-up, the stories actually matter! |
