<I'm not legend>
I saw an incidental article in the paper today about a fire on the
set of an sf movie called _Legend_. This was the first I had heard of
the movie. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it going to be another
version of Matheson's _I am Legend_ ?

Legend is the newest film from Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Apple 1984 Ad, etc.) The fire broke out while filming a special effects shot. the sound stage burned to the ground. The stage was the "007 Stage" at Pinewood Studios, Iverheath, England, the world's largest film stage. Having visited the stage myself, I can confirm that it was indeed quite large. It was built for the production of "The Spy Who Loved Me" to shoot the oil tanker interior scenes. Since then, it has appeared in Superman I,II,III, Krull and a few other films. I don't know how the fire will effect the production of _Legend_. The loss of the "007 Stage" is quite tragic. I don't know if Pinewood, or their owners Rank Films, can afford to rebuild it, insurance or not. I hope that they do. Randy Dearborn Digital Media Graphics SAGE::DEARBORN 603-884-5090
