I believe we are in an ancestor simulation.. and that the future send ideas for all sorts of things from technological discoveries, to movie ideas,as a way to tell us whats really going on.

one of my favorite films from the 70's, I think of it fondly and often.

I was privileged to meet and talk with Mr. Trumbull at an IAAPA trade show where he was promoting Showscan. Our brief chat was a great pleasure and a fond memory.

Silent running was a cool movie when I saw as a kid & still holds up today, one of many unique sf movie out there.

Great movie with Bruce Dern. I really loved the three drones Dewey, Huey and Louis. Only decades later I found out how they did that. Amazing.....

So sad Doug is no longer with us. Love listening to him. A true visionary

[@michaelbertsch4173]

A great director and the real master of visual effects.

[@roquefortfiles]

Doug's imagining of the UFOs in Close encounters made a huge impression on me. Even though you saw them you didn't really see them . One of the most unique original interpretations of the UFO mythology

This film must have influenced my young life in a big way, love plants, osciloscopes, robots, saturn, space, garden domes with plants in & some how different from the people around me, one day i would love to see the drone in a museum and speak to someone how worked on this film " Number 1 on my bucket list." I always think fondly about it.

I saw this when I was around 7 y/o and cried my eyes out.

I know i helped pay for the film in 1972. I was a young teenager then. Loved the movie.

[@rsoubiea]

there is a pop culture museum someplace in the southwest that has one of the domes on display.

[@melissajane7785]

Best movie ever, heaven forbid we enter this reality, for our kids sake

When did Douglas Trumbull finish working on Silent Running? I know the movie was released in March 1972, but when was it mostly finished, and why do some places say it was released on January 1st 1971?

[@billbouse9761]

It was filmed in February and March of 1971, and I read somewhere the effects took eight months by themselves. So, that would put completion around November of 1971 (and the film was copyrighted in 1971, so that ads up).

@@billbouse9761 Wow, thanks for your answer.
