Monday August 16 1:03 AM ET NBC hatches Y2K disaster
picture
By Josef Adalian NEW YORK (Variety)
- Looking to take advantage of millennium madness, NBC is
working on
``Y2K,'' a disaster picture that imagines near-apocalyptic
results brought
about by the much-hyped computer bug. The thriller stars
Ken Olin (``L.A.
Doctors'') as a techie trying to save the United States from
disasters
caused by computer failures as 1999 turns into 2000. The
picture is the
only announced broadcast project to date capitalizing on
concerns over the
Y2K computer bug, in which machines interpret the date
1/1/00 as Jan. 1,
1900. Analysts have predicted all sorts of catastrophes as a
result of the
problem, though forecasts regarding the actual impact of the
bug vary
widely. In ``Y2K,'' the bug causes an East Coast power
outage, ATM
failures, airliners whose instruments don't work and other
assorted
calamities. Olin's character battles one of the biggest
imagined
consequences of the bug when a nuclear power plant threatens
to go into
meltdown. ``Y2K'' also stars Joe Morton (``Terminator 2,''
``The
Astronaut's Wife''), Ronny Cox (``Total Recall,'' ``Murder
at 1600'') and
Lauren Tom (``Friends,'' ``Futurama''). Dick Lowry (``Atomic
Train'')
directs. Reuters/Variety
