Battlefield Earth was brought out and pushed by the Church of
Scientology who, for leagal reasons, had to prove that L. Ron Hubbard is
still alive. Somebody told me that Battlefield Earth actually came out a
long time ago and that it was one of L. Ron's first books.

At any rate, the Scientologists would do anything to promote the book
and announcing a film is a good way to do that. I'd take it with a grain
of salt.
