Episode 62 - HAL Resurrection, Act II: The Return of Douglas Rain

The sequel is written, the crew is hired, the red light is plugged in. To bring HAL back to life, they'll need that secret sauce: the Canadian theatre superstar that is Douglas Rain! But first, they have to find him.

Reshaping of HAL's character and choices from the book to script of 2010, the differences between drama on the page vs. the screen, and the evolution of Dr. Chandra's change of heart.

The intimate highs and lows, inner conflicts and evolving relationship between two creative minds in "The Odyssey File." The fruits of that collaboration we can see, and all the invisible connections made by countless creative people in 1984. How spending a year together, 200 talented individuals can create the impossible. And the result is art.

Plus:  6" monoliths, fish in the living room, and more comedy from Peter Hyams' grandmother.
