The star of Incubus, now a very well-known actor, is William Shatner, who has also had a very interesting and varied career, but Stevens chose actors who were not well-known for the other characters. By all accounts the finished result was a very good film and I'm pleased to learn that Incubus has now been provided with a digitally restored image and a re-mastered soundtrack, and is being made available to a new generation of Esperantists, nearly 40 years after its first appearance.
Finally, a word of thanks to Darold Booton, who wrote to me several days ago and told me that in the new Hollywood science fiction film, Gattaca, made in 1998, a female, synthesised voice is heard at the beginnning of the film saying, "Bonvenon al Gattaca urbo. La Gattaca horo estas dektri post la sepa." ELNA, the Esperanto Leage of North America, is given a credit for helping out. For a review of this film, see: http://www.dispatch.com/news/movies/gatt... and there is also a ShockWave driven web-site for Gattaca here: http://www.spe.sony.com/Pictures/SonyMov...
It seems that we haven't said "Goodbye" to Hollywood after all. And maybe the previous topic article should have been headed "G^is la Revido to Hollywood". Well, let's hope that Esperanto will be used in many more films in the future.
The next article will begin a discussion of Esperanto and Science Fiction. I hope you'll join me again.

Just a quick note on the I.A.T., which is _not_ the same as the quasi-political S.A.T., but was, in its time, the "Internacia Arta Teatro", founded in Paris in 1957 by Actor-Director Srdjan Flego. Bes ...
