Message-ID: <219@ll1.UUCP> Date: Thu, 1-Mar-84 23:35:09 EST Article-I.D.: ll1.219 Posted: Thu Mar 1 23:35:09 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 4-Mar-84 00:03:26 EST Organization: Chicago, Illinois Lines: 19 [] 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.) Chuck Jones AT&T Communications ...we13!ll1!cej
