I don't have the paper with me, but I do remember that one of the three adaptations was changed to modern times. That one was to be directed by John Hughes, who did Home Alone among many others. There is also a remake of Tom Sawyer. I hope all of the rest of you are groaning too, because the perfect Tom Sawyer was made in the late 30's, and every new remake is worse than the one before. (Just my opinion, of course). I'll tell more tomorrow after I've seen the paper again. The producer who made the dumb remark was left anonymous. I don't think the Times wants to be sued. Also, the Star Trek thing sounds like Letters From the Earth to me.
