Author Peter S. Beagle Visits Slice of SciFi for Show #092 — January 17th

Peter S. Beagle is the famous author of novels (fantasy and nonfiction), and screenplays. He is also a talented musician and singer. His very first novel, “A Fine and Private Place,” was published when he was only 19 years old and is considered a classic. But, his most recognized work is “The Last Unicorn,” rated as one of the top ten fantasy novels of all time.

Peter is equally popular for his screenplays, including the critically acclaimed episode on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” titled ‘Sarek.’ He wrote the screenplay for the 1978 Ralph Bakshi-animated version of “The Lord of the Rings,” and adapated “The Last Unicorn” on film.

His other claim to fame is his ownership of the literary estate of science fiction author Edgar Pangborn.

We will be talking to Peter about the ongoing legal battle over monies owed him for “The Last Unicorn,” and other projects he is currently involved in.

For the rest of the show we have tons and tons of Movie and TV News, including stories about Avatar for Cameron and Shyamalan, a Flash Gordon update along with several other possible new TV shows currently under consideration for 2007 and 2008.
