Unproduced screenplay:

Genes
A Screenplay Based on the Mary Shelley novel "Frankenstein"
March 10, 1989, The Solofilm Company

I found this on Ebay and was able to ask Michael Crichton about it during an online discussion in November 2005:

Kahlessa:
Michael,
Did you write a film script titled "Genes", a screenplay based on the Mary Shelley novel "Frankenstein" in 1989?

Michael Crichton:
Yes, about 15 years ago. There is some talk of making it, now. But we never know.
ER took 20 years to get made.

Kahlessa:
Thank you Michael!
I bought a copy of the script on Ebay and I just wanted to know if it was legit or not.

Michael Crichton:
Oh, *that's* a different question. I have no idea what is getting peddled on ebay. I have seen all kinds of stuff, mostly at autograph sessions. A lot of it I won't sign, because it's a mishmash of the work of different writers, or it's a version that never made it to the final movie...
Caution.

Even with that caveat, I found a number of things in the script that connected to other of Crichton’s works. The screenplay may have been rewritten by others, by I think there’s a great deal of Michael Crichton still in there.

Chris,

Welcome to Kahlessa’s Corner!

I can appreciate that you and other Michael Crichton fans want to read the script. But I will not post any of Crichton’s works online without the permission of the copyright holders (which would be his estate now). I will also not post links to other websites that have put his works online illegally. And I would please ask that others posting on this message board refrain from doing the same.

Perhaps Crichton's official website will put the rare and out-of-print works by him on the website someday. Or maybe I could obtain the permission to do so myself.

I'm also compiling a list of Michael Crichton's non-fiction articles, which is far more extensive than a list of his short fiction. There are a few I know about, but have yet to track down at university libraries.
