My buddy Frank Garcia, co-author of the books Science Fiction Television Series: Episode Guides, Histories, and Casts and Credits for 62 Prime Time Shows, 1959 - 1989 and Science Fiction Television Series: Histories, Casts and Credits for 58 Prime Time Shows, 1990 - 2004, sent me this picture the other day. It was taken a few days ago by a mutual friend, Ken Mcintyre, the author of REEL VANCOUVER (Whitecap Press, 1988) who is in Los Angeles right now.

So, do you know what this famous landmark is and can you name at least two famous science fiction films and/or television shows that were filmed here?

No prizes for this other than geek bragging rights.

I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

It's the Bradbury Building.
A couple of the many things filmed there were Blade Runner and Outer Limits....

M. D. Jackson said...

Well, Pat looks like you win. Do you know which episode of the Outer Limits it was?

Pat Tillett said...

I think it was something like "the glass demon" or "the glass hand."
or not! LOL...

M. D. Jackson said...

Close enough. It was "Demon With a Glass Hand" written by Harlan Ellison.

Congratulations Pat! You win geek bragging rights. Yaaaay!

There are a few other genre movies that were filmed there but those were the two I was thinking about.
