writers including Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison, with Mark Rydell
(James Dean), Michael Tolkin (Deep Impact) and Michael Petroni (Queen
of the Damned) among the directors. The series is being executive
produced by Brad Mendelsohn (The 24th Day), Andrew Deane (Joan of Arc),
Keith Addis (Masters of Horror), Morris Berger (Room 6), Steve Brown
and John Hyde (The Happy Elf ). The shoot runs until early August.

Season two of Masters of Horror began in early April and will shoot

Jonathan Frakes to Direct Masters of Science Fiction Episode, Harlan
Ellison Adaptation
By GustavoLeao / 13:02, 15 June 2006 / General Genre/SciFi

Star Trek The Next Generation actor/director Jonathan Frakes will
direct a segment of Masters of Science Fiction TV Series entitled "The
Discarded", based on a short story by Harlan Ellison (who wrote TOS
classic episode"The City on the Edge of Forever"), scripted by Ellison
and Josh Olson (Academy Award-nominee A History of Violence).

Ellison posted this on his discussion board on Monday:

"Josh's and my "The Discarded" will shoot in Vancouver July 23rd to
August 6th, approximately. I'll likely go up there for the shoot. Oh,
and by the way, it'll be aptly directed by Jonathan Frakes. Produced by
Keith Addis."

The story deals with a ship of mutants that have been exiled from Earth
due to their ugliness. An Earth representative seeks their cooperation
when they are the only hope of curing a disease on the home planet.

The story was published in 1959 and anthologized in Ellison's Paingod
and Other Delusions. He indicated that he's very proud of the
adaptation.

I've done two new essays in the last week; and Josh's and my "The
Discarded" will shoot in Vancouver July 23rd to August 6th,
approximately. I'll likely go up there for the shoot. Oh, and by the
way, it'll be aptly directed by Jonathan Frakes. Produced by Keith
Addis.
