Longyear (sp?), which I liked rather a lot, called "Enemy Mine". I have the vague impression that it won a Hugo or Nebula (or both) a couple of years ago. If anybody out there knows if this film is based on the same story could they inform the world (particularly myself, I really liked that story!). Any info on release dates etc. would also be nice...
