If you listen to "Weekend Edition Sunday" on WETA, you
just heard an article on why "I, Robot" wasn't
strictly according to Asimov.  If you're not a morning
radio person, it was the last article on the show this
morning.  And very nicely done with some commentary by
several people involved, including Harlan Ellison on
what happened with his script of "I, Robot".  Very
entertaining!  He did turn it into an illustrated book
that is known as "the best screenplay never produced"
so it wasn't a complete loss.  The director of "I,
Robot" said he read it, but it wasn't the movie he
wanted to make.

The article ended directing people to the WETA website
for more from Ellison.  I'm guessing you might find
the whole article there is you missed it.  As someone
interested in fan history, it was old news to me, but,
hey, it was worth listening to.  Check it out!

Oh, and there is someone writing a script for
"Foundation".  Which I kinda knew already.  For joy!
