BRADBURY MASSES

BRADBURY MASSES
   Ray Bradbury is one of the few writers who made the leap from writing for science fiction aficionados to writing for a mass audience. One reason for the crossover may have been that his novels and stories translated easily to television and film.Two early B-movies - It Came From Outer Space and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms - were released in 1953. In 1966, the French filmmaker François Truffaut directed a successful film adaptation of Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451. The Martian Chronicles became a television miniseries in 1980, starring Rock Hudson. Adaptations of Bradbury's work appeared on The Twilight Zone and on Ray Bradbury Theater. And Bradbury himself plunged into the mainstream when he co-wrote the screenplay for the 1956 film, Moby Dick.
