Can anyone out there think of any SF authors who participated in the
making of an SF movie?  There's Clarke and "2001" of course, but he's
the only one I'm sure of.  I have a vague recollection that Heinlein
did something for "Destination Moon" and that Wells was involved in
"Things to Come", but I'm not sure about either.  The technical errors
in SF movies are so gross and so common that one would think that 
the producers would hire an author just for verisimilitude.
