| Michael Lennick lives in Toronto Ontario. He has been
involved in numerous SF movies and TV series. His visual effects credits
include Videodrome,
The Dead Zone, Millennium
and the War of the Worlds
TV series. Michael was also a technical consultant on The
Fly. He has also won much praise and numerous awards for his
many Discovery Channel specials including the science and history series
Science Highway.
Michael has written a screenplay for a feature film version of Robert
J. Sawyers novel Illegal
Alien. According to Rob
Sawyers web site "David Coatsworth, the producer who, along
with Lennick, has optioned the Illegal
Alien novel, has just finished being executive producer of
Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest picture, and is currently working on a
Tom Hanks film. He wants to move Illegal
Alien to the front burner in the spring of 2001."
More recently Michael has been working on 2001 and Beyond. He
told me the show is "a one-hour special that explores the making,
impact and legacy of Kubrick and Clarke's masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey. We'll go behind the scenes to trace the history of the
project, and we'll consider some of its deeper implications in the light
of current technological thinking." Michael has personally
interviewed several people involved with 2001: A Space Odyssey including
the legendary Arthur C. Clarke himself. 2001 and Beyond
will premier on The Discovery Channel on Thursday January 4th, 2001 at
10:00 PM.
