Stanislaw Lem  Solaris >>> More Information Publisher: Harvest Books
Year Published: 1987
Bibliography Information and notes: "an excellent book, soon to be suffering under the malaise of a movie, directed by Soderburgh.
Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky from soviet Mosfilms first made Solaris into an epic movie, long enough to put everyone not tough enough to sleep, rivaling werner herzog and his endless water scenes. Solaris now gets to be remade by megaconglomorate 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment. Steven Soderbergh, who-knows-why-he-was-the-winner-of-the-Palme-dOr-at-the-1989 Cannes Film Festival, gets to be director of Solaris this time around, and James Cameron gets to sit in the little baby chair, albeit a pure titanium babychair... still, all props to computer cgi, no more converted toilet seat special spacepod furniture. well miss it!"
