The movie "Brainstorm" had very much the look of the director [Walter?]
Cronenberg, who directed Scanners, Videodrome, and a couple other
movies.  This "look" was evidenced in the casting, the subject and
script, and in the high-tech institutional shots throughtout the movie.
Can anyone tell me if he was ever associated with the movie?  Was he the
original director before Natalie Wood's death put the movie on hold?

worthwhile: The first major motion picture where someone dies of
