BATTLEFIELD EARTH - THE FANS' FAVORITE

    Battlefield Earth, the movie based on
L. Ron Hubbard’s epic science fiction bestseller of the same name, certainly appeared to be a favorite of DragonCon, the world’s largest multi-media convention held over July 4th weekend in Atlanta with over 20,000 die-hard fans in attendance.

    Battlefield Earth seemed to be everywhere - from a presentation of exclusive “behind the scenes” footage of the film by the director Roger Christian (one of the guests of the Convention), to nightly screenings of the film, to lines of fans waiting to have their movie posters signed - and even a special Dragon award given to Christian by the Convention chairman Ed Kramer. To crown it all there was a prediction from a professor of science fiction, Dr. John Flynn, that Battlefield Earth would be nominated for a Hugo Award next year. Flynn describes the movie as a “rousing action-packed, sci-fi adventure” with “eye-popping special effects” - a “truly brilliant work.”

    Roger Christian was interviewed at DragonCon by Internet based TNC TV.
