Production on adapting J. Neil Schulman's Prometheus award-winning science fiction novel "Alongside Night" into a movie will soon begin with actor Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules", "Andromeda") to be Executive Producer and star of the film.

That will be a well-timed movie for these times. I liked this novel very much.

I met Sorbo today at the 8th Annual Grand Lake Colorado Constitution Week. Easy to talk to, nice guy. I missed his speech but people were unanimous it was great. It appears he is sticking his neck out quite a bit, taking real risks, speaking out.

For OL readers, J. Neil Schulman was a member of OL. Look him up in members if you want to see what he posted.

Unfortunately, he passed away last month. I don't know what the cause of his death was, but according to his Wikipedia entry (J. Neil Schulman), he was 66.

His participation on OL was mostly a huge kerfuffle with George Smith some years ago. Schulman had a quirky idea that God visited him in human form or something like that. God and he talked and interacted like people do.

George Smith was not amused.  

(Well... he actually was...  )

Anyway, for me, I know very little about Schulman other than what he did here, so he is another author on my reading list. 

I'll try to see the movie, too.

I want to see the movie now, too.

We talked about the anger of the left. I didn’t know anything about Sorbo until today, I gather he is Christian, he said, “when I talk with Hollywood people, the ones you can talk with, I ask why are you all so angry? About something you don’t even believe in anyway.”
