I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay

I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Features an introduction by Harlan Ellison, explaining what happened to I, Robot and why it never reached the screen. Foreword by the late Isaac Asimov. Features cover art and interior illustrations — both black-and-white sketches and 16 pages of full-color paintings — by fan favorite artist Mark Zug. Last published by Warner Books in 1994 — out of print for 10 years!

Review:

"[A]lthough Ellison's script may never make it to the screen, having this beautifully illustrated edition of it is almost as satisfying." Library Journal

Synopsis:

With an Introduction by Harlan Ellison, explaining what happened to I, Robot and why it never reached the screen, this book features cover art and interior illustrations by fan favorite artist Mark Zug.

Synopsis:

In 1977, film producers approached Harlan Ellison with a view to producing a screenplay based on Asimov's story-cycle, 'I, Robot'. The screenplay that Ellison produced is here presented in book format and brought to life by the illustrations of Mark Zug.

Synopsis:

Until the recent announcement of the Will Smith/Alex Proyas collaboration scheduled for release in 2004, numerous attempts had been made to adapt Isaac Asimov's classic story-cycle, I, Robot, to the motion picture medium. All efforts failed. In 1977, producers approached multiple-award-winning author Harlan Ellison to take a crack at this "impossible" project. He accepted, and produced an astonishing screenplay that Asimov felt would be "The first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made." That screenplay is presented here in book format, brought to scintillating life by the illustrations of artist Mark Zug. After you read it, then decide: Is this not the greatest science fiction movie never made?
