I, Robot : The Ellison Script

Harlan Ellison’s screenplay adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s “I, Robot” is arguably the best sci-fi movie never made. Let’s take a look at the script itself, why the film was never made, and how it might have altered science fiction cinema in the wake of Star Wars. The published screenplay also has several concept illustrations by Mark Zug, which really give a sense of the unique visual style the film could have brought to the screen. 🔹 Patreon | patreon.com/FeralHistorian 🔹 Ko-Fi | ko-fi.com/feralhistorian Obligatory plug for Ninti’s Gate 🔹 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYXH9BWD and now on Kobo https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/nint... 00:00 Intro 01:59 Robbie 04:32 A Little Detour 06:18 A Lifetime and a Galaxy 12:12 Liar 14:06 A New Theory 16:29 The Rapid Rise of the Federation 21:01 Obstacles and Ellison Correction: 0:42 Illustrations by Mark Zug.
