After hearing about it for a year I finally watched Predestination on Amazon Prime. You know I have seen good adaptations of classic prose science fiction, there are not many!, but this takes the cake. I don’t know if you all have seen it, lord it had lousy distribution, I don’t think it even played in my city. The short story by Heinlein, All You Zombies, is only 10 pages long, I remember reading it in F&SF 50 years ago! Here is a case , like Kipling’s Man Who Would be King, where the screenplay had to be expanded, and a good job was done. I went back and reread the story. Man this film is right down the line, everything from Heinlein’s story is there and elaborated cleverly. I would really like to see these film makers try their hand at some other SF. A strange year for science fiction, the Martian, Man in a High Castle, Childhood’s End coming.
HBO has Asimov’s Foundation in work, but, it has not been greenlighted.
Predestination is really 2014 but I’ll count it.
Actually GoT's Noah Taylor is in this but I am gonna put this thread here.
Taylor is actually the only other prominent actor in the film but is listed way down on IMDB.
