* I'm not sure of this, but I think that there has been at least one other SF movie made, if not at the same time that the book was being written, then at least in concert with the author of the book: the movie Destination Moon, based on a book by Heinlein (rocketship Galileo?), and filmed with Heinlein's active cooperation. Does anybody out there know more about this? I find myself unable to include "Dune" in this class of multi-media presentations, perhaps because Herbert's sequels have demonstrated to my satisfaction that he is no longer a writer of science-fiction... -Kieran A.

Heinlein is listed as one of the screenwriters for "Destination
Moon". It is loosely based on his "Rocket Ship Galileo" but the two
stories vary widely. Also the two projects were not done at the same
time; the book was written in 1947 and the movie released three years
later.
