Connery in space
“Outland,” another of the big-production, science fiction sagas, starts at the Avon . tomorrow. Choosing to define the dark and haunting recesses of space in terms other than space suits, ray guns, luCite domes, conveyor belts and perma-pressed jump suits, the writer and director, "Peter Hyams, explores the difficult, dangerous, even sinister underside of a mining operation on 10, a volcanic moon of Jupiter. The drama builds to a climax with “Outland” erupting with force and special visual effects. Sean Connery and Peter Boyle also give.pqwerful per-, formances. In- Addition .to
portraying Secret Agent 007 with urbanity in six James Bond films, Connery has created a diverse gallery of characters, including the complex William O’Neil, Federal District Marshal on Con-Am No. 27. As conceived by Hyams, the mining complex is a silver-grey city which rises from a sulphurous plain, consisting of seven modules, each with a separate function, including'the refinery, a solar station from which power is generated, two greenhouses which produce not only vegetables- for the community but also oxygen for the plants, the living quarters and; ..the, t space shuttle landing pad. < ■ V■.
