Science fiction writer Marc Zicree (Babylon 5, Sliders, Star Trek:Enterprise, Twilight Zone Companion) has progressed further towards getting his science fiction tranformation book trilogy Magic Time into a live action form.
The series is an exploration into a world subject to a 'change' where disaster strikes, all the machines stop working, but magic 'comes back' (for some, it never left *wink* )..
But folks have survived, only changed to ghosts, reptiles and other creatures not normally visiting Starbucks on a given day. Something about personalities shaping their form..but don't want to spoil it for anyone..
It's been out a few years now, but he has been working toward getting it filmed..
Should be interesting..
