	I just read in the Chicago Sun-Times a day ago that on the
rest shuttle flights this year the are going to be filming interior
and exterior sequences with a special 70mm camera.  They said that
most of the shots would be planned out in advance, along the lines
of a script, but they would also shoot "other objects of
opportunity".  Some time next year NASA plans to release the film to
theaters, but the only ones that will be able to show it are those
equipped with one of those concave wide screens.

	They didn't say how long it would be, or if any of the
exterior shots would be taken while on EVA with the backpack.  (Of
course we can all hope for a long movie, with lots of shots of, and
from the the EVA unit.)
