	Let's see. There *WAS* the short story "I Since the Body Electric,"
	by Heinlein (Niven? Bradbury?) that was made into a "Twilight Zone"
	episode and recently appeared on NBC as a TV movie.
	/* ---------- */

"I Sing the Body Electric" was by Bradbury, and it (as well as a number
of other Bradbury stories) has been adapted to television several times.
But as far as I know, Bradbury was not directly involved in these
adaptations. The question was about movies which were made with the
direct participation of an SF author. If we start talking about movies
and TV shows that were adapted from real SF writers' work, there
are hundreds of such.
