Re: Movie Queries
	I have heard that the new Star Trek Movie is coming out sometime this
June. I know it is being directed by Nicolus (sp?) Meyer, e man who wrote
"7 percent Solution". I think he also wrote it, but I am less sure on that
point.
	Dune is being done by your friend and mine "Dino DeLaurentis", that
wonderful jerk that brought you "King Kong", and "Barbarella" (yuck). I
have heard rumors on "I, Robot" (even up to Ellison doing the script),
but nothing definite.
	As for "Bladerunner", there is indeed a novel titled that, but
the movie is based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". I think
they may have bought the title "Bladerunner" from Nourse, so they wouldn't
have to worry about lawsuits, but again I'm not sure.
