I checked Amazon and Borders for Bid Time Return and it was rather pricey, probably because it wasn't released in paperback.

However, it was apparently re-released, titled Somewhere in Time.  According to the plot summaries there were a number of changes between the book and film.

That's right.  I think "Bid Time Return" is more rare.  It was re-released at the time of the film as "Somewhere in Time".  I found an old, yellowed paperback for $1 on ebay.

While the changes are significant between the novel and the film, Matheson did write the screenplay.  He even has a cameo appearance as "Astonished Man".

The twins would be 15 now, and she would have had them when she was in her early 40s. Entirely doable in this day and age.


--- Quote from: Ellemenono on November 10, 2010, 07:35:30 am ---I'm just finding this thread.  I remember a few years back, someone comparing Somewhere In Time with Brokeback Mountain, in terms of their fanbase, and the love affair.  Now I (kind of) want to see it.

I just looked up Jane Seymour on Wikipedia.  She's married to James Keach, and they have 5 year old twins:
"1993 to present: James Keach (with whom she had twins, Johnny and Kris, born November 30, 1995, and named after family friends, Johnny Cash and Christopher Reeve)"

She herself is nearly 60, how can she have 5 year old twins?  I think there's more time traveling here than meets the eye.  James Keach played the prison warden in Walk The Line, I'm pretty sure, the movie about their friend Johnny Cash.

Interesting thing on IMDB.. the director asked all the females up for the part if they had ever been in love.. and Jane was the only one that said no.

Mental Time Travel may not be a far-fetch plot device after all...

"Researchers have found evidence for “chronesthesia,” which is the brain’s ability to be aware of the past and future, and to mentally travel in subjective time. They found that activity in different brain regions is related to chronesthetic states when a person thinks about the same content during the past, present, or future."
