The Man was originally planned for the small screen


Originally planned as a TV-movie, but due to the subject matter was released to theatres. Is this correct?

This was also the case with "Colossus: The Forbin Project" also directed by Jospeh Sargent.

That's a fact for both never understood why this film or the fact there were two
black presidents (Bros. no less) on "24" was mentioned during the 2008 run.

Colossus etc was based on three or more novels where super computer(s) take over the world. Sad as this film leaves us hanging. Time for remakes more so with today's tech. WOW!
