Chocky is a science fiction novel by John Wyndham, first published in 1968 by Michael Joseph.[1]. The BBC produced a radio adaption by John Tydeman in 1967. In 1984 a children’s television drama based on the novel was shown on ITV in the UK. Many children have imaginary friends but one father becomes rather concerned that his son, Matthew, is a bit old to have one. His concerns deepen as his son becomes increasingly distressed and blames it on arguments with this unseen companion. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the friend is far from imaginary, but is an alien consciousness communicating with Matthew’s mind—a fact that is of intense interest to shadowy government forces.

Produzent Peter Jackson (Trilogie „Der Herr der Ringe) und Regisseur Neill Blomkamp haben wir einen erstaunlich innovativen Science Fiction-Actionfilm zu verdanken, der „tief in die Phantasie seiner Schöpfer blicken lässt (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Mit grandiosen Spezialeffekten und einer gehörigen Portion Realismus tauchen wir in eine Welt ein, in der Außerirdische gelandet sind und in einen Slum am Stadtrand von Johannesburg verbannt wurden. Ein Mann lüftet das mysteriöse Geheimnis der extraterrestrischen Waffentechnologie. Bei seiner Verfolgung durch die seltsamen Gassen einer außerirdischen Barackenstadt (Shantytown) erfährt er am eigenen Leib, was es heißt, der letzte Außenseiter auf dem eigenen Planeten zu sein.
This was for the third time in the history of Oscars that a science fiction box office hit lost to its modest competitor The Hurt Locker which won the Best Picture Oscar and whose Director Kathryn Bigelow became the only woman to have won the best directing Oscar. “The Hurt Locker” a gritty Iraq war movie has been the least-seen best-picture recipient in Oscar history — at least in theaters. The Hurt Locker which was just a modest box office competitor against James Cameron’s “Avatar, earned just $12.6 million worth of domestic earnings against the box office hit Avatar which tops the revenue charts by ringing in more than $700 million. Science fiction is a genre that has been rarely been awarded an Oscar in the past as much as in the present. They have a history of losing. Woody Allens small comic drama “Annie Hall” won best picture and director for 1977 over George Lucas’ “Star Wars,” which was then the biggest modern blockbuster.
In the classic 1950s science fiction/horror series Tales of Tomorrow, Burgess Meredith’s performance as an illiterate trapper stands out as most unusual. The episode is practically a silent movie, as mysterious render the whole country temporarily mute. So how can this man who can’t read or write persuade the authorities that the source of the Great Silence is an alien invader?
