    Ray Bradbury working on 6-hour miniseries

    From The Hollywood Reporter-

    Literary sci-fi god Ray Bradbury is set to shop a six-hour miniseries to networks as part of new production agreement with newly formed company White Oak Films.

    The mini will feature six of Bradbury’s classic short stories directed by six different directors. It’s not yet known which stories will get adapted since the directors will get to select their favorite titles.

    The 89-year-old Bradbury is the author of “Fahrenheit 451” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”

    White Oak partner John Dayton has a longtime association with Bradbury and will executive produce the project along with the author.

    “My partners and I see this series as an homage to a man who has inspired us all,” Dayton said.

            It ran on HBO back in the early '80s.

            By the way, Bradbury is a great signer for any autograph collectors. I've written to him a few times and sent copies of his books with SASE, and he's graciously signed and personalized them for me, along with sending little cartoon sketches etc. on the notes and envelope itself! And it was quick too, within a week or so of mailing.

            Here's his fanmail address:
