I’ve always been fascinated by Michael Crichton, and a big part of what drew me in was his knack for exploring the potential downsides of technology. It really started with The Andromeda Strain back in 1971 – a fantastic movie, and it became a recurring theme in everything he did.

That success gave him the opportunity to direct his own project, a TV movie called Pursuit in 1972, which he also wrote. He really worked his way up, and it’s amazing to see how he managed to both write and direct so early in his career.
