New Film "The Immortalist" to seriously depict life extension contributed by member on 2006-10-19 |
|||||||
| Academy Award nominee Bennett Miller has been chosen to direct the upcoming film 'The Immortalist' a contemporary look a life extension. I wonder if this is based on the Alan Harrington novel of the same name. "It’s not a science-fiction film. It’s a drama set in the very real world of those pursuing biological immortality,” said Miller. "It’s a pursuit that attracts some extremely brilliant, wealthy and influential people. It also attracts tragic figures. This story follows one such person on his disturbing foray into it.” |

|||||||
| This question is posted on the Methuselah blog site. The answer is probably no since cryopreservation is not the same as anti-aging. It would however qualify for Rudi's Lazarus Labrat prize once it becomes a reality. | ||||||||
