James V. Hart's writing/producing credits include: Hook, directed by Steven Spielberg; Bram Stocker's Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola; Contact, directed by Robert Zemeckis; Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, directed by Kenneth Branagh as producer with Coppola and John Veitch; Jack and The Beanstalk: The Real Story, directed by Brian Henson, a Jim Henson/CBS mini-series; and Tuck Everlasting, directed by Jay Russell for Disney.

Not terribly impressive there. They might want to keep looking.

Yeah. I thought "Contact" was about the WORST film ever, in every way possible. It was amoral -- come on, a man of the cloth (Matthew McConahay) who immediately hops in the sack with the leading gal (Jody Foster) with nary a pause or thought of repentance or regret? The whole story was bleak, and absolutely unconstructive. It was also boring. I remember a clever headline spoofing the classic "Alien" on a review panning "Contact." It read: "In space, nobody can year you snore."
