[net.movies] Hollywood takes on genetic engineering

The march 15 issue of 'Science' magazine reports that a new movie being
made in Hollywood, 'Warning Sign', will deal with the issue of what happens
when genetic engineering experiments 'get out of hand'; movie is to star
Sam Waterson and Kathleen Quinlan and is described as 'a high-tech
thriller...dealing with the raw emotions of scientists (and technicians)
who suddenly find themselves sealed in their fortress-like lab with an
experiment that has gotten out of control. Pressed a bit more Hollis
(the publicist for the movie) said that the scientists are experimenting
with plants and then somehow a mutant human being is created.' 

Gang; this is immediately obvious as a movie to avoid unless you're
into giant carnivorous carrots (didn't someone do that already back in the
50's?).
