If it is done well it should be a really exciting movie. I've heard that Sting of the rock group The Police has been signed for the movie; after seeing him in a few MTV videos I bet he's been hired to play Duncan Idaho. Questions: Anybody know anything more about this movie? Who would you like to see cast in the main roles? Any idea about who is doing the screenplay? Can the movie be done well in less than 3 or 4 hours? -- "The soapbox of Gene Spafford" Spaf @ GATech (CS Net) Spaf.GATech @ UDel-Relay (ARPA) School of ICS ...!{sb1, allegra}!gatech!spaf (uucp) Georgia Tech ...!duke!mcnc!msdc!gatech!spaf Atlanta, GA 30332
