The Terminal Man is a 1974 American horror science fiction film directed by Mike Hodges, based on the 1972 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. Starring George Segal and Joan Hackett, the film centers on the danger of mind control and the power of computers.
Production
In January 1972 it was announced Warner Bros had bought the rights to make a film of the novel, with Michael Crichton to write the script and direct. However when Crichton wrote the script Warners felt he had departed from the source material too much and had another writer adapt it. "I thought I'd given them a terrific script and they hired another director," said Crichton. "I was very disappointed not to direct."
"I don't think they [Warner Bros] gave it a chance," said Crichton later.
The film was shot in Los Angeles and Burbank Studios, with the Forest Lawn Cemetery and the Ennis House serving as locations in the film. When preparing the film, Hodges wanted to shoot in black and white but the studio would not let him. The film was influenced by the work of Edward Hopper. “The American painter Edward Hopper was relatively unknown here in those days. I certainly had never heard of him.
