After the publication of his Prometheus-Award-winning science
fiction novel, The Rainbow Cadenza in 1983, J. Neil Schulman
published no new books until 1994. What became of this promising
author's career in the missing decade?
What happened was the sale of a film treatment to a major movie
production company in late 1983 and the broadcast of Schulman's
original script, "Profile in Silver, " on CBS's revived Twilight
Zone series at 8:00 PM EST, March 7, 1986.
For most of the 80's and early 90's, J. Neil Schulman was
writing screenplays and stories, including other scripts for The
Twilight Zone.
You never saw Schulman's second Twilight Zone script,
"Colorblind, " a scathing attack on prejudice which Harlan Ellison
slammed as "too knee-jerk liberal" for production.
You never saw the movie Schulman wrote about the divorce
proceedings of the Prince and Princess of Wales, written when the
tabloids were still portraying their marriage as a fairy tale come
true.
You never got to see the musical screenplay J. Neil Schulman
wrote, where a rock band invades a symphony orchestra, or his
screen story about the discovery of ancient artifacts on Mars, or
his story about a cross-dimensional time-traveller we first meet at
16 when he's seduced by an older supermodel at the 1976 World
Science Fiction Convention, or the unsold spec script he co-wrote
for Star Trek: The Next Generation, in which the Enterprise causes
an ecological disaster on a planet for endangered species...and the
Ferengi save the day.
Now you can use your imagination to see all these stories in
your own private screening room, and learn the stories behind the
stories as Schulman tells about his own adventures inmovieland.
For devotees of TV, movies, and science fiction, this book shows
that sometimes the stories that aren't on the screen are as
compelling as the ones that are.
