Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

Editor Brian Thomsen admits that film was his entrée into the world of science fiction. After watching classics such as Fantastic Voyage and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, he discovered that many of the most dramatic presentations were based on written stories. So he sought out the authors, read their works, and became enthralled by the golden word as well as the silver screen. Years later he decided to compile an anthology of stories that were translated to film, and the result is The Reel Stuff. The book contains 12 works by writers such as Philip K. Dick and John Varley; some writers are well known and others are not as readily recognizable. Included in the anthology are Dick's "Second Variety" and "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," which turned up on screen as Screamers and Total Recall, respectively. Also included, but less well known, is Robert Silverberg's "Amanda and the Alien," which was turned into a made-for-cable movie of the same name. There's even an H.P. Lovecraft story here, "Herbert West: Reanimator," which Hollywood made into Re-Animator, a campy SF horror classic. --Craig E. Engler

5.0 von 5 Sternen Overall, real Good, 17. Dezember 1999
Von Omer Belsky (Haifa, Israel) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
OK, first I shall say it was a strange pick of stories. where was 'Sentinals' Arthur C Clarke's story that inspired 2001: A Space Odyssy? And why are there no less then five Horror stories in this collection( Mimic, Second Variety, Sandkings, Candyman and Reanimator?)

But it was, nonetheless, a great collection.

Mimic was short, but interesting.

Second Variety was cool, even if it wasn't really surprising and had a cheat ending.

Amanda and the Alien was better then the movie, but that doesn't say much.

Sandkings is a stroy by one of my favorite writers George R R Martin, and was the scariest thing I've ever read.

We Can remember it for you wholesale was very cool, and very different from Total Recall, too.

Enemy Mine was prety cute, if obvious.

Air Raid was intriguing but not all that unique, reminded me a little of stephen King's The Drawing of the three.

Johnny Menemonic, by william gobson, was terrible, boring and totally uncomprihensible.

The forbidden was Ok, not great.

Martin's second entry, Nightflyers, was extreamly cool, almost as good as his first, defnetly a classic, even if it was a little similar to 2001.

So go buy it, 'Sandkings', 'We can Remember it for you' and 'Nightflyers' each is worth the price of the book alone.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Would have given 4.5, 17. März 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Great collection of short stories which were the inspiration for sci-fi and horror movies. Included is the source material for Mimic, Total Recall, Screamers, Enemy Mine, Reanimator, Johnny Mnemonic, and others. The quality of the stories varies. Most are well-written, but there are 2 stinkers in my opinion: "Candyman" and "Amanda and the Alien". I'd like to see a follow-up published.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Best book investment in a long time, 16. März 1999
Von Babytoxie (Dallas, TX USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
DAW was on the money when they put this together. It's a great idea for a short-story collection - high praise considering that anthologies seem to be the virus du jour of the sci-fi/fantasy market... enough already! This book stands out not only for the premise, but for the selection of stories included, and it's likely the reader will have seen at least 2 of the movies based on these stories. Then, to actually READ the source material... well, it shows you just how much Hollywood will take advantage of an author once they get the name on the contract. Speaking of, there's two, yes, TWO entries by Philip K. Dick, and these were probably the most altered on their way to the big screen. Anyway, this book is a lot of fun. The only problem I had was the inclusion of "Amanda and the Alien" by Robert Silverberg - an amazingly sub-par, even amateurish, story, confirming exactly why I don't read his stuff. It shouldn't be here, but with the other gems, I can overlook it.

3.0 von 5 Sternen Some excellent stories, but....a mixed bag
"The Reel Stuff" is a collection of science fiction and horror tales that were the basis of films in both the 80s and 90s. Lesen Sie weiter...
