I never knew the back story behind Millenium (1989). I was impressed by the concept of the movie but even as a kid I didn't think it quite worked. It is a shame that he wasn't able to get the concept he wanted through to the directors and producers. Now I have another writer to add to my reading list.

His short story, Air Raid is amazing. I wish you had read that first and not seen Millenium.

As a film, probably it needed to be 20 minutes long and that was the problem.

Outside of the odd anthology series, a film really need to, in general, be at least 90 minutes for commercial viability.

The same thing goes on with non-fiction books. Yes, you can have magazine articles but a published book needs to be a good 250 pages.
