Two different movies!


There are two different Flatland films for 2007. One is called Flatland: The Film, and is already available as a limited edition release (at http://www.flatlandthefilm.com). The other is called Flatland: The Movie, and will be released this spring (see http://www.flatlandthemovie.com). All rather confusing. It looks like "The Film" is a low-budget, but fairly loyal adaptation of the book, while "The Movie" is a somewhat larger-budget film with known actors, but plays fast and loose with geometric realities.

The book must be in the public domain, else I can't see how two films could be coming out within months of each other.

The usual rule is copyright on literature ends 70 years after the authors death. It means English Literature students tend to manage to get some of their reading matter cheaply!

So we're on the board for "Flatland The Film".
