"Based on speculative-fiction writer Ted Chiang‘s short story “Story of Your Life,” “Arrival” tells the story
 of a top-tier linguist named Louise Banks (Adams) who is brought in to help avert a global crisis by establishing 
communication with mysterious aliens in ships hovering just above the Earth’s surface."

"Based on speculative-fiction..." ? Is that a new word "speculative-fiction"??


Is that like between Science today and Science Fiction of yesterday?


You know like NASA saying there is life and water on Mars...but it's just "speculative-fiction".


I never heard the word "speculative-fiction", but...i don't read fiction anyway...not even 'short stories'.
fiction is too fiction for me...it's Dr. Seuss for adults.


I guess if Hollywood buys your 'short story', they only have to pay 2 cents for it.

Then they give it to some kid inside script writers and pay him ten million.


That's how Hollywodd works, ..they steal an idea and make a movie.


This is how Hollywood's insider talks "Give the chink two cents and a couple of chop sticks."



You know, without the 'idea'...there is no movie.


Any stupid kid can write a script...
