'Solaris' Screen Adaptation Forthcoming
Jooly Rodney writes "No, not the operating system, the sci-fi novel by Stanislaw Lem, long considered to be a classic of the genre. Apple's movie trailer site features a teaser trailer, and IMDb has George Clooney and Natascha McElhone as the leads Kelvin and Rheya."
..never be as good as the original "solaris"
They're running the trailer before showings of Minority Report (at least, they were yesterday at the matinee I went to). Only names mentioned in the trailer were James Cameron, Steven Soderbergh, and George Clooney.
Needless to say, those three names along with some beautiful deep-space type footage definitely piqued my interest.
Andrei Tarkovsky's Russian adaptation of Solaris (1972) was the first, of course, and is widely regarded as a sci-fi classic. Let's hope this isn't another unnecessary Hollywood remake.
"Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."

I believe there already was a movie called Solaris and this is just a remake. The imdb confirms the existence of a 1972 Russian space epic by the great Tarkovsky.
At the time I thought he didn't notice me (Wishful thinking?). Later I found that just the opposite was true (in his basement, he had made a kind of voodoo shrine to me, and my picture was on his coathangers, plus, he wanted his TWO DOLLARS!). I had been watching him for maybe two months trying to decide what it was about him that made my hormones go wild (Yes, they would all line up
and kick like the Rockettes.). When seated next to him I got so wet that I was worried about leaving a stain on the chair (later I realized that it was just my cigar-smoke that had triggered the sprinkler above my desk...). I had read about pheromone in relation to animals, but never thought that people were subject to the same influences (Cause I'm just a silly leetle girl. I could never make a connection like tha-at Hee. Wanna see my
underwear?).
Why we frequently found ourselves in such close proximity was another story (Does this mean what I think it means...?). The English department where I taught (English as a second language) did not think a lowly adjunct (good word!) needed a computer. In fact, they didn't even think I merited a desk (or, hee hee, A POT TO PEE IN! Silly ole me.). In reality, I didn't need a computer as programming was just a hobby for me (Yes, I think most English profs would agree. "Computers...BAH!). I just liked the idea of making a machine my slave (I, of course, prefer to make a slave my machine, but hey, different strokes...)
Thus we found ourselves seated in front of our respective IBM clones (nothing gets me going like erotica chock-full of computer references. If she later mentions IMSAI, and misspells it, I will surely die. Altair? S-100 bus? Oh the humanity!) on an almost daily basis. With a little detective work (I asked him. Call me Samantha Spayed!) I found out that his name was Michael and he was an (water polo) instructor in the computer science department.
Even if he had been a sexual zilch (zero), I still would have probably noticed him as we were the ONLY users of the two Linux servers in a faculty lab filled with Windows PCs (and the only two who wore leather bullet-bras over our halter tops). God! how I hated those machines (What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like comp.sys.linux.advocacy?). My prejudice (God, how I hate serendipidists!), like most (of my other unattractive features) was inherited, in my case (of the clap) from my father. He has been working with computers for the last 30 years (in fact, he invented the transistor! Shocking.). As a memento, he gave me his original IMSA 8080 (Oh God, she did it!) still in working order. I had been brought up to think that computers should not be `cute' (nor should Sally Fields, but she's a button!).
Rob, the director of the lab, must have picked up on my vibes (because it wasn't a cordless one, but one of those big white mongo plug-in deals with the end that looks like a disc brake. And boy, was it loud.) as he would barely give me the time of day (Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care. Lemme see, it's six to four). That is, until I hatched MY PLAN (I would corner the world silver market and then found the USFL!).
One day, finally overcoming my shyness (shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you want to), I glanced over at Michael (TREBECK! Together, we would RULE THE WORLD!!). Actually, I looked at his (hall) monitor (armband, notable for the penciled-in swastika) and realized that he was trying to pirate (a ship! But if you're not the Dread Pirate Roberts, then who is?) an application (for employment at Denny's, which is silly, because if you just ask, they are required by law to give you one.).
"If Rob catches you, he will hang you by your (barnacles and huge, gaping blowhole) thumbnails and tattoo Linux icons on strange parts of your body. (Honey, there ain't a part of me that's not strange. I'm from Canada.)"
Michael laughed and said ("There's madness afoot at the Circle-K this eve"), "Oh, Rob and I are good buddies (What is...a euphemism for 'lifemates'?). I teach C using the Linux and I frequently have to ask him questions. Actually, I make up the questions so I can stay on his good side (his BACK!!)."
After the ice was broken, we began to (skate) talk every day.
On about the third day, I found out about HIS OFFICE (He was...POPE!). Since he was an instructor, the university deemed (I love when a word like this crops up. Remember 'adjunct'? 'Merited'?? And now this.) to give him an office. It was a hasty (retreat) sheetrock affair of about 70 square feet and a very large Steelcase desk (um, excuse me. It was a "hasty" office? Well...you're the wordsmith.). On the downside (of five o'clock here at WOGL, and I'm gonna be sending you home with a little Bay City Rollers Action: S--A--T-U-R--D-A-Y. NIGHT!)?, it was located off the very room in which I sat (the very!). Despite these limitations, it had a door with a lock (of angel-hair pasta Scotch-taped to it, the meaning of which eludes me even now). This was not the point when I began to formulate MY (5 YEAR) PLAN, but I am sure that it was an inspiration (I sniffed again. My mistake. Per...).
MY (5 YEAR) PLAN took its focus the day Michael and I were on the elevator together (First, I would arrest all the artists and philosophers. Then I would make everyone wear gray and cut their hair like Moe Howard. Then...). It was the typical cattle car scene (lots of shit on the floor and a crazy cowboy or two getting their rocks off.). We were jammed in like sardines and the only redeeming factor that when pressed against each other I realized that Michael was sporting a very big hard on (bloodlog). After this revelation and a few later surreptitious glances, I realized that he had an constant erection whenever we were together (This could only mean one thing! He liked girls.). He seemed to have the same chemical reaction to me as I did to him (Yes, his vagina would moisten and his nipples would press against his bra.). This discovery was the impetus (keep these words coming. You know, impetus can be cured. Roll some stamps around his penis before you go to bed, stamp AIR MAIL on his forehead and then...) which led me to even think about anything as risky as THE PLAN (9 From Outer Space. by Edward Woodie).
A few very innocent lunches, laced with a lot of heavy (saltpeter) sexual (DYNAMO) tension, followed. As inconvenient as the location of his office WAS, it turned out that we were both married. This came as not a really big surprise, as I was fully cognizant (aware, to you and me) of my own marital status (no fool I! Although I forget sometimes and have to look at the ring to remind me. I'm so silly.) and since he was not a kid, the probabilities (of drawing a seven when doubling hard fourteen against a dealer's six drop dramatically if you scream, "Hit me, Lotus-Blossom!" and pound your fist on the table) were that he was married too. Although I had anticipated the fact, it presented (word) problems (especially those annoying 'related rates" thingees. I mean, who cares how fast the pool fills?! How will this come in handy at the supermarket?). I never claimed to be a romantic (poet), but the idea of a (Grecian Urn) seedy motel room didn't much appeal to (the car thief in) me.
His office therefore became the most likely location (No doubt.). As I mentioned before, its only assets were the large desk and the locked door (Well, and the bondage table, the sling, the hydraulic winch, the cross...). The walls were (toilet) paper thin. Since I generally cum loudly and frequently (IN BED), after contemplation (of course it helps that my mantra is "fuckme"), I decided I had better begin my homework (thank God all the odd answers were in the back).
While Rob beamed away (zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-ay, my oh my--), I began my research on the Linux. Discretion was the (better part of valor?) key word (say the key word and you win fifty dollars). Rob was very protective of his PCs. The actual (de)programming was done at home thanks to a Linux PC on loan from a friend (Anal Cocks). When it comes to programming, I am very patient.(Yes, I believe most programmers share this quality. In fact, I relish nothing more than the thought of compiling and linking five megs of Clipper code on an 8080)) Finally, after weeks of debugging (de-lousing, call it what you will), I was able to write and load a nifty (nifty! Hee. Aren't I just...such a girl!) little program that would render the Linux server useless for the hour or so I hoped I needed (Fabulous idea. Your co-workers will love you for it, especially if they're in mid-compile, or haven't saved anything).
After what had seemed eons (thousands of years), the day of execution arrived (I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country. HIS!). This was not exactly the type of program you could (master) Beta test so I just (VHS'ed it) crossed my (legs, snapping a co-worker's neck) fingers and hoped I could prove my (love to my) father (death be not) proud.
Although we were definitely running on the same track (the slow one), I didn't want Michael to suffer cardiac arrest (so I slipped the nitro pill under his tongue). In preparation for what was to come (The CULTURAL REVOLUTION!), I strolled into his office humming the tune of My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music (OH THE HUMANITY! Hey, remember Julie Andrew's hooter's in "S.O.B"? I do. They weren't big or pendulous but they were floppy.). When I began to sing my lyrics to the song, a broad grin crossed his face (and he looked like an idiot child, who loves nothing so much as wood). (If this is beginning to sound like a scene from an Indian movie, you're right, but stay tuned.(Oh I will, I WILL. Mississippi Masala?)
Guys in tight bike pants, their crotches a-bulgin'
Wet, hot, slick, hard skin, and secrets divulgin'
A story 'bout Suzy-Q("Queen. Of. Hearts. Come on, come ah-ahn),
oh what a scene,
These are a few of my favorite things
Guys in blue denim(denim boys. yummy.), their lashes a blazin'(oh

One with his pants off, his size is amazin'!
A horse with a hard on suspended by strings *(asterisk)
These are a few of my favorite things
When the clap (applause) hits, when his pud drops, and I need it bad I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so
sad
* This line inserted in honor of Catherine the Great, and the
new Russian democracy!(Nay!)
After my vocal recount of MY favorite things there wasn't much resistance (none, maybe?(ya think?)) when I knelt down in front of him and unzipped his jeans. Having waited for what seemed centuries (hundreds of years), I immediately began to savor the (table of) contents. As my tongue rolled around the head of his penis, in a voice (!!) tempered with both extesy (ouch!) and panic, he murmured,
"Jesus, we can't do this here."
Before the not to worry reassurance crossed my lips both of us heard a shaken (not stirred) Rob pounding his (pud) fists on a nearby keyboard. Putting two and two together Michael began laughing so uncontrollably that I found it my civic duty to silence him (Yes, I shot him.). Retaking appendage in mouth (eek) I began to suck it for all it was worth.
Not being slow on the uptake, Alex slid his hands into my blouse and discovered I was not wearing a bra (Hoo-er!). In fact, since it was a special occasion I had dispensed with all underwear (I dress like this at all joint sessions of congress, state dinners, and public executions). Taking this as his cue (I broke, sank the eight ball, and blew that popsicle stand), with a quick switch of positions we found ourselves (facing away from each other, preparing to duel) on his large Steelcase desk. He began by running his tongue along the curve of my small but well (mal)formed breast, and down my (ample)belly. Bearing right at (68 degrees) my navel, he shortly found his tongue wading through my short and curlies (Oh how precious! I want to bite and kiss you.).
I sucked him deeper into my mouth as his tongue hit my clit(Axl Rose). He had one hand twiddling (!! I don't know you silly boy, I've never twiddled) my clit between tongue laps(es), while his tongue was exploring my wet cunt, darting in and out(dart-like), tracing my lips all the way back where he lightly nibbled that very sensitive area between cunt and anus (I like to call it North Jersey), and then he gave my hole itself a gentle (tooth)brush (but that is the stuff of urban legends. Ooh, it was a Reach). The (Big)chill that shot up my spine caused me to gasp(and retch), sucking his pumping cock deeper into my eager mouth. His tongue finally returned to my clit. God the walls were shaking(the Earth was quaking my mind was aching, and we were making it. them mean old eyes...knocking me out with those American trout.)!
I could have continued with this game for a long, long time, but as if out of no where a condom appeared (oh thank you thank you my fairy condom godmother!). My heart, already pounding double time, started doing little flips(wreaking havoc with my artificial mitral valve). My clitty, so recently being ministered to by tongue, started pounding in anticipation of what it knew was coming (After three pounds she popped.). I took the packet from him and ripped it open (nearly destroying the condom in the process.).
Now, with both of us sitting on the edge of that steelcase, I gently grasped his member [I just HAD to] (we understand) in one hand and unrolled the sheath with my other (if it hurt as I unravelled the skin from his penis he never let on. And they say chivalry is dead. Piffle, I say.). I realized that the wrapper was still in my hand (20 more and I could get a Bazooka Joe decoder ring). As I reached across the desk to the trash, I felt a hand on my back, and then another reaching around my waist to my hot pussy (at first this was disconcerting since Alex was standing right in front of me...). I knew what was coming (soon...we'd PADIDDLE!), and I reached back to help guide his flesh missile into my anxious (but not hardened) target (??!! I thought you were sitting on the edge of the desk??!! So what target? MY SPINE!!). Help wasn't needed however, and before my hand found its target, his (smart)missile found mine, and with a grunt of satisfaction he started his (long, long) journey home.
With a long slow push I felt myself filling up (with...SEMPRINI??!). Then his hand came around me and started to caress my clit(man in the rowboat. ick.). Then finger twiddle,slow stroke out, fingers, fast push in. My clamping him tight on each outstroke was driving us both to a frenzy(sub-par Hitchcock, but not without its good points, like when the camera backs away from the woman's apartment and down the stairs) . With each beat of the penetration, the cycle of pleasure began all over again(cool beans.). As if upon mutual (pre-nuptial)agreement, a soft languid cry flowed from our lips and could have been heard if anyone had been listening(it sounded something like, "BARANGUS!"). Serendipitiously(luckily), a loud wail(a great white one) from Rob was produced on the opposite side of the wall(how fortuitous!).
I wish I could describe the sound of 12 Linux servers crashing simultaneously, but it really isn't very interesting (I believe you. Honest).
Slashdot will no longer exist on Jan. 22, 2003.

I saw the trailer last night waiting for "Minority Report" to start. To call this a trailer is a bit of an overstatement, it's just a slow pull-out shot starting from some oddly mixing waves(?) on the surface of a star/planet going all the way out until a rotating spacecraft (reminiscent of the space station in 2001) comes into frame. Then it informs you that George Clooney stars. That's it. Not very informative at all.
This may seem like a dumb question in retrospect, but the CGI was not the best I had ever seen, which leads me to this query: is this an animated film of some sort? I haven't seen any information on any of the usual sites I read about this movie.
I was looking forward to a movie based on an operating system...
If Mr. Edison had thought smarter he wouldn't sweat as much. --Nikola Tesla
If ever there were a book that would be completely lost in the translation (to screen), this is the one.
I heard some sad news on the radio this morning. Msgr. Jon Katz was found dead last night in a confessional with a young boy. Even if you've not a little boy, and thus never had sexual contact with him, you can't help but appreciate his contributions to the Catholic Church. He was truly an icon of the Catholic Church and will be missed by all.

Why can't slashdot have more news like this!
Its where real men get their news and not some gay site like slashdot.org!
Rob Malda writes "No, not the operating system, the "Anal Sex for dummies" by Jamie McCarthy, long considered to be a classic of the genre. Slashdot's movie trailer site features a teaser trailer, and IMDb has Michael Sims and Chris Dibona as the leads Richard Stallman and Eric Raymond."

I've seen Solaris a couple of times in the past. The original is in Russian. Not knocking it, but it is one of the most difficult movies I've ever seen. It is inspiring you to get drawn in, but it is very perplexing. On the face of it the story is simple, but it is multi-layered.
It is also perhaps the most non-Hollywood movie ever made, so you might as well assume right now that Cameron, Steven, and George are not capable of remaking as complex.
should be interesting to compare to tarkovsky's version. hollywood is probably going to ruin this one too...
QED
BSD is for people who love UNIX. Linux is for those who hate Microsoft.
Ok, so flame me.
But I can't really say that I liked Solyaris all
that much.. Not Tarkovski's best at all.
Seems to me he was trying to hard to make a new 2001.
But the grace of 2001 is missing in Solyaris; There's a lot of pseudophilosophical babble in the
dialouge that I doubt anyone can follow, and some
of the visuals are so wierd they're comical.
The story and underlying questions are interesting though:
maybe a dumbed-down hollywood version is just what this film needs?
The ADS on $la$hdot and the O$DN ANNOY ME.
.net adverts! Why the FUCK are you letting the
Ones that annoyme most,
$hit forge adverts, no one want's to risk developing critcal applications
with you so fuck off!
AnimeFu/Megatokyo adverts! Japanime sucks, so does slashdot!
Microsoft Visual Studio
devil advertise with you. Oh now I remember, open sores have no way to
make money so they ask big companies to support them!
Conclusion. Don't tolerate it! Don't subscribe to $la$hdot. Instead go
and install Junkbuster and say no to shitty adverts! The
ones found here are worser than the pr0n sites!
Horrible travisty to remake such a great picture that so few have the opportunity to see. They should restore the original and release *it* to theaters. That being said, at least Clooney is a decent actor, unlike Mark Wahlberg who got tapped to fill the shoes of Carey Grant in the remake of Charade. I would also like to take this opportunity to recommend that folks go out and get the DVD of the original Norwegian version of Insomnia, instead of seeing the remake. Damn remakes.
"Remember, there never were pineapple-almond cookies here."
There's a fan site re both "Solaris" movies:
http://www.k26.com/solaris/
HSX ticker SOLAR
Mmmmmmm
...will it be released for the x86?
Malike Bamiyi wanted my assistance.
It would be interesting to plot the number of repeated stories, and see if the rate is increasing. The date of the last original story could then be projected. This date would be the true death of Slashdot.
Now, I realize that the IMDB is not official, nor is the wording of the summary official, but I think the wording perfectly captures the level of detail that Hollywood is going to achieve with this remake. Odd planet! Mystery! Death! Romance! Killer CGI! Blah. It's like a chocolate bar left in the sun--it's chocolate, so it could have been good once, but now its just an oozing mess that should be dumped in the garbage.
Yes, I am being overly pessimistic, but since when has Hollywood let me down? The last decent hard science-fiction movie was Gattacca, and not everyone agrees on that. (Please note I make a distinction between science-fiction and sci-fi.) And George Clooney? Mr. I-Can't-Act-My-Way-Out-Of-A-Paper-Bag? Sorry, folks, nothing to see here.
:Peter
I saw Minority Report yestereday and they showed the teaser trailer for Solaris before that movie. Imagine two sysadmins of Sun machines sitting there seeing that and freaking out ("AAHH, we can't escape!"). Fortunately, I read the book and saw the russian made movie and quickly relayed what it was to my friend.
Btw, Minority Report is the most fun "tech" movie I've seen in a long time. It's worth seeing just for all the future gadgetry ideas.

I have very little faith that a large American studio can do any justice whatsoever to such a low-key, non action, non "Hollywood ending" vehicle.
That said, here is the IMDB entry. Which lists it as in production with Steve Soderbegh as director. He is responsible for Sex, Lies and Videotape, The Limey, Erin Brokovich, Traffic, and Oceans Eleven. So, it is possible he might do something worthwhile with the material. Depends on what the studio lets him get away with.

A simple reading of the plot will reveal
something like Twilight Zone and a Star

So pretty easy to make something without
the grip of the original prose.
I can't wait for the HP-UX movie.

Just having watched the trailer, and having read the description of the original Russian film from imdb.com, I can only conclude that the new Solaris is a remake of:
Ren & Stimpy: Space Madness
My bet is that George Clooney plays Stimpy.

i am very sad to hear that this excelent book will be made into a hollywood film. it will undoubtely feature a cheesy plot ,overdone special effects and no no strory to speak of.

Man, I've been waiting for screen to get adapted to Solaris for years.
I got used to it during my shell-term AT&T Unix(tm) days. It made true multilple-session work possible. I was absolutely astounded as my PPP session was running under Windows 3.1.
It was amazing to have this true multitasking capability back in 1992 -- and you didn't have to use a mouse!
I watched the Russian adaption of Solaris a number of years ago, though I haven't read the novel. To be honest, I do not remember a lot of details from the movie. But here are some highlights and impressions:
It was a wonderfully puzzling movie. The only US movie I can actually think of that puzzled me as much after seeing it for the first time was 2001. To me, the differences between the movies come down to 2001 attempting philosophy in a purely *visual* medium, whereas I had the impression that Solaris would have been better as a book, being a very verbal exploration of ideas (a symptom of being a film adaption of a novel).
Can someone who has read the novel and watched the Russian film adaption comment on how the novel and the film compare?
All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. - Johann Sebastian Bach
The planetary surface looks pretty much the same as in the original Solaris movie (made in USSR, comrades). I wonder why?
filmed in UK
If I can actually consider this one better than the original movie or at least an adequate rendering of the book, I'm giving out a free beer to anyone asking me for one on release day.
There is absolutely no reason to panic.
Solaris was a truly awful film. It is completely unwatchable. Anyone who tells you that it was "compelling" or "draws you in" is full of shit. Stay away - far away - from the original. No matter how much they Hollywood it, it's guaranteed to be better than the original Turd.
The book has scenes of unearthly beauty which did not appear in the original Russian movie. For instance: the vast, wonderful, possibly sentient structures that grew on Solaris. These (a major plot element in the book) did not appear in the 1972 movie--a real disappointment.
Hope the new movie does better.
Maybe Stalker is up for remake as well?
I just wish that a Region 1 DVD of Stalker would be released. Or, fantasy of fantasies, a good print for the repetory theater circuit (what's left of it, anyway.)
You do realize that this movie was made in USSR and has nothing to do with Hollywood, don't you?

If you think big enough, you'll never have to do it.
First Insomnia, now Solaris? What's next, Jerry Bruckheimer remaking October?
Tarkovsky's original "Solaris" had one of the most beautiful paces I've ever seen in a film. It was slow and it allowed you to take in everything in the film. It created an incredible tension in the film and was largely responsible for the perfect mood that was established.
My question is, will a typical North American audience (who generally seem to enjoy fast-paced, thoughless films) be able to sit through a film with a pace that slow? I think Soderbergh will be forced to step up the pace and potentially damage the story. Don't get me wrong, I respect Soderbergh as a director, I think he's great. But, I hope he has some kind of creative vision that he'll stick with.

Titatic meets "Booker" from Roseanne? No thanks.
Not the five worst movies, but maybe in the five worst book adaptations, along with "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", the miniseries of Sayers's "Gaudy Night", the original 1930s "Anna Karenina" with the happy ending, can't think of another but Anna Karenina ought to count for at least two.
Throw a few cute magical anime hero girls in there and I think Solaris would be a real hit!
It is actually my license plate BECAUSE of the book and an intended double pun! Good lord, people on the streets have being asking me if my name is Solaris :) One guy asked me if I was Sun's owner :) My answer to those is: -"Solaris" is Greek for "sunny" and I drive a convertible. Get it?

It's not just driving, it's driving through endless maze of gray concrete multilevel freeway interchanges and ramps filmed in Germany. This kind of stuff was seen by his audience of 1972's USSR as something alien. It expresses an anti-utopian view of future technology.
I'm in the minority that I liked Event Horizon. Still with Hollywood now making an adaptation of Red Dragon when Manhunter was a perfectly good film, you have to wonder what the memory span of film producers are.
How do you pronounce [rh] in English, anyway? Is it any different from [r] or is the extra "h" just there to look exotic?
There is absolutely no reason to panic.
I see this as an opportunity for people who haven't heard about the original novel/movie to watch it and judge for themselves afterward. It will also bring the first adaptation into the media spot, then remastered and re-released for DVDs. I am not being too pessimistic here by assuming that people who like old fart Hollywood style jokes wouldn't have bothered seeing the original play anyway, which is why I refrain complaining about Hollywood stomping and destroying every possible piece of achievement from the past. Thanks to George "worse director ever" Lucas and others (Spielberg who is the little fav guy of Wired lately), Kurosawa's movies are now available in Criterion DVDs. Hollywood is a terrific marketing machine. The idea is keeping your brain at a resonnable distance from its grinders. Like avoiding fast food, because ads fly in your face every day, it requires extra strenght, I agree, but the reward is up to the challenge.

Released by a company called Ruscico
You can purchase it here.
I believe those are Region 5 encoded - I've encountered them elsewhere. I'd be delighted to learn I was wrong.
Ruscico has two versions available. Region 5 - PAL I believe - and Region 1 NTSC.
..."FreeBSD" and "Linux" to come out:

Linux: a bunch of penguins nudging each other at the edge of an ice cliff. As we fly past, we see sharks in the water, all with Bill Gates' face on them.
So I thought - I'm gonna go over to Netflix and queue up Tarkovsky's Solaris. Haven't seen it since like high-school. Guess what. No DVD. Got me thinking. What kind of 'businessman' in their right mind would release such a thing on DVD anyway - only to be seen by like 3 or 4 people. Unfortunately, I don't have a VCR, so I can't watch it that way. Like you'd be able to even rent Solaris on VHS at Blockbuster. Same problem there - 1 rental a year won't pay for the shelf space. So, this great work of art goes on the ash heap of history. I think that if we let the recording industry assert their rights so much, we had better obligate them to keep such obscurities available at all times as well - in all new formats that come into existence. For 70 years after the copyright holder is dead.
Just by looking who are in this movie, it's obvious it will not come close to the "original" that is a classic. Hollywood, does it again: "Let's take a good story of a good non-hollywood movie and let's turn it to something mediocre.
Minority Report looks like it might be good. Same with Spider-man. Solaris will probably be good, too. But fuck 'em. Me and my money are staying home until the MPAA changes its tune.
Java is the blue pill
Choose the red pill
So this means that, what, Solaris is gonna run GNOME by default?
(in the not being any good sense - who knows what business it will do)
The book's main protagonist is racked with guilt at leaving his girlfriend, knowing that if he did she'd try to kill herself. This is not only his emotional motivation, but informs his interaction with the planet, and is pretty impossible to remove without gutting the book.
George Clooney (or any major star) will NEVER be responsible for their girlfriend commiting suicide (on film anyway).
Therefore, there *will* be helicopter chases through decaying symmetriads, he *will* get it on with neutron girl, and there *will* be some kind of bad guy, no doubt a religious nutter trying to destroy the planet with a giant X-ray emitter.

I can't wait to see HP-UX: The Movie.
Solaris is indeed a pretty drawn out movie, much like Tarkovsky's other films. However, if you approach it on its own terms, I think it's quite enjoyable and emotionally involving, and the cinematography is simply superb. I don't know whether it's a 'masterpiece' or not, but it's certainly not as bad as some of the people here suggested. Here are some specific points I'd like to address:
>randomly switching between black & white and color (in Russia, they used what stock was available)
First off, Tarkovsky often alternates between colour and BW stock to indicate mood changes. This has absolutely nothing to with using "what stock was avaliable".
>The best were the endless views of a Soviet piece of shit car driving on highway overpasses with dubbed "jet-engine" sounds. The first half of >the movie was nothing but the car driving.
As someone already pointed out, this scene was actually shot in Tokyo, so they're technically piece-of-shit Japanese cars.
>You could also blame it on english translation too. I am sure the was a significant loss of content there because monologs, dialogs play a >huge role in the movie.
Yes, you're quite right, the translation is perfectly horrible. I'm amazed nobody has thought of re-releasing the movie with a more...shall we say, accurate one (or maybe somebody has, I wouldn't know). On second thought, why should they bother -- the market for this kind of thing in the US is evidently rather limited.
>I've seen it a couple of times and frankly it >makes 2001 look like a shallow no-brainer of a >movie.
I wouldn't go that far.
To summarise, Solaris (the original, natch) is basically an art-house sci-fi film. If you like art-house fare, chances are you'll like it. On the other hand, if you're a sci-fi fan with no particular interest in foreign film it may strain your patience. Personally, I think it's worth seeing at least once.
Somewhat off topic, I apologize in advance... Following various Lem links just now, I read some description of one of his stories, His Master's Voice, which were not what I expected. I thought His Master's Voice was a story about genetically intelligent dogs who serve as research assistants for human scientists. In the story I am thinking of, one particularly bright dog spends most of the time piecing together some vital information for his under-appreciative master. If anybody remembers this story I would love to know the title and author.
It gives Clooney another chance to belt out A Man of Constant Sorrow.
Oh, please, no. Stalker is my favorite Tarkovsky film, and while it might be better suited for "Hollywood" treatment if it stuck closer to the novel "Roadside Picnic," it couldn't hope to compare to the beauty and wonderment of the original, which deviated greatly from the book. I just wish I could find this on DVD.
The movie had it's own beauty. The movie
*was* different; but that doesn't mean it
was worse. It's actually incredible to
realize that it was a Soviet movie. The movie
is less science fiction than an existential
agnst type flick. Solaris is not the infathomable
intelligent being of the book; but is God as
ultimatly unknowable enigma. The director
took license to put his own vision in the work.
I think he did an wonderful job. Compare Kubrick
with 2001 and the book. Different but no less
compeling.
From Sci-Fi Wire:
"WB To Adapt Bear SF Novels
Warner Brothers will develop Greg Bear's SF novel The Forge of God as a feature film, to be adapted by writer Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), Variety reported. The film is the envisioned as the first of three, which would include films based on Bear's sequel novel Anvil of Stars and a third book that the author has yet to write, the trade paper reported.
Ralph Vicinanza and Vince Gerardis will produce. Bear's first novel deals with hostile aliens who come to Earth lured by signal probes sent over the years."
The Forge of God should be easy to make a movie out of, maybe even a good one, but I don't think that their can be any way to make a movie out of Anvil of Stars.
Their are many things that are going to be impossible to put on film. The alien race the humans rescue consist of individuals who are amalgamations of samller worm like creatures who communicate with a combination of odour and sound, and are psychologically incapable of not using double pronouns like "I we" (I would love to see a good CGI of one of these. It would be a nic antidote to Jar Jar).
Smoking is an expensive, slow, and unreliable method of suicide.
Everone knows about that it was originally a novel by Stanislaw Lem. What they may not know is that it was originally written in Polish.
The Russian version of the film was directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. What you may not know is that he also co-wrote the screenplay, along with Friedrich Gorenstein. Tarkovsky only ever directed two films he didn't also at least partially write (at the beginning of his directorial career).
Gorenstein died in March of this year. There has been some suggestion that the reason the film is being remade in English now, as opposed to earlier, is that film rights were tied up until his death.
The synthesizer composer Isao Tomita was so impressed by the Russian version of this film that he composed music based on his impressions of the work. The track "The Sea Named Solaris" was used as the theme music for the Carl Sagan PBS Television series "Cosmos".
You have to wonder if the symbolism of the novel figured into the name of the OS... or if it's totally coincidental.

Your post got me to thinking. I think we can all agree that 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the best scifi films ever, but how many people think that there can ever be a film made like it again, ever, at least in Hollywood.
Sadly, 90% of the movie watching public expect the things you say, helicopter chases, plenty of sex, lots of violence, a solidly bad guy and a solidly good guy. Without lots of sex, violence, action or comedy films just won't sell in the market - 2001 had none of that but it's regarded as one of the best (scifi) films.
I think we are destined to never see another 2001, it just can't happen, not until that 90% of the population becomes educated.

It wasn't particularly light hearted either. I have read the book and seen the movie, and the movie catches the mood of the book perfectly.
I agree that it will have to be dumped down a lot to reach to Hollywood idea of a sci-fi audience, i.e. the people who think _The Matrix_ was a "deep" movie.
Prepare to be delighted: Ruscico's NTSC Stalker and Solaris DVDs are Region 0, thus playble worldwide.
There are also PAL Region 2 versions from Artificial Eye in the UK.

I am yet another bored American.. cannot believe I stayed focused long enough to make it this far down this list! :) Yawn... now who is MTV's #1 single today? click click click...
The 1972 Russian version of "Solaris" was unbearably tedious and plodding. Lem's novel, while not as spritely as some of his others (like my fave, Chain of Chance), was a helluva lot livlier. The novel is a literal fountain of special effects, and I'm willing to give the Hollywood hacks listed a break if they can capture just some of that magic.
The word "solaris" isn't Greek it is Latin. The Greek word for the sun is "elios". Quite different from the Latin "sol" isn't it?.
When I hear "Solaris", I think Gatchaman.

I went to a 70mm screening of 2001 with a couple of people only 5 years younger than me(late 20s) a while back. They really didn't get it. It was quite depressing.
