R.U.R. (2011)

There’s no information in the non-subscription IMDB, but there is an entry for a movie based on Rossum’s Universal Robots.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300594/

The original play was a talky social comedy mixed with a melodrama (complete with a “missing papers” plot twist), and the big action sequences happened off-stage (with characters either referring in passing to events that happened years ago, or characters looking through windows and describing what they saw). So I worry what “enhancements” might make their way into a big-budget production. (Sigh.)

If anybody knows more about this movie (faithful art-house reproduction of the original play? CGI-infested revisionary abomination?), I’d welcome the news.

  • I think she's too big a name to play Sulla the secretary or Nana the servant, so I'd assume she's the lead, Helena. Of course, they may take liberties with the script and invent different roles.

  • Yes, I liked seeing so many secondary characters develop over the years on DS9, and her character arc was certainly satisfying. I think she's too big

  • All I know is that Chase Masterson, the stunning cuttie who played the Dabu girl with married Rom on DS9, is slated as being in the picture. I know that from IMbd. I don't know what part she'll play or what kind of budget this movie is supposed to be. It could be a big budget flick or a direct-to-home-theater time fare.
