The project was based on an idea by set designer [[John Barry (set designer)|John Barry]]. In March 1977 he pitched it to [[Stanley Donen]] with whom Barry had made ''[[Lucky Lady]]'' suggesting that Barry direct and Donen produce. Donen was enthusiastic and took the project to [[Lew Grade]] who he was working on with ''[[Movie Movie]]''. <ref>Brender p 17</ref>
[[John Barry (set designer)|John Barry]] conceived the project as a much more lavish vision of the future. The film's producers, [[Lew Grade]]'s [[ITC Entertainment]], intended the production to cash in on the sudden vogue for science fiction and horror following the success of ''[[Alien (film)|Alien]]''. Farrah Fawcett was also hoped to be a major draw for a teenage male audience and much of the film's promotion was based around the revealing space suits she was to wear in the film. Producer [[Stanley Donen]] played down the exploitation elements, resulting in a film that the producers struggled to market.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}}


Grade read the script while on a plane with [[Farrah Fawcett]]. He pitched the film to Fawcett who was interested, and Grade agreed to make the movie, in part on Fawcett's interest.

===Scripting===
The script was written by novelist [[Martin Amis]] who did it for a fee of £30,000. According to Amis' biographer the original script "is at once heroic and pitible, his various attempts at wit, rhetorical bravado, even elegance, being shoe-horned into a directorial enterprise as boorish as ''The Vikings''." Amis says most of the final script was written by [[Frederick Raphael]].<ref>{{cite book|page=175|title=Martin Amis : the biography|last=Bradford|first= Richard|year=2012 |publisher=Pegasus Books}}</ref>

the man with whom she was working. I think we were looking for an older rather than a younger man in every version of the story. Yet I don't feel that the script was changed to accomodate the casting of Kirk Douglas."<ref>Brender p 22</ref>


In screenwriter [[Martin Amis]]'s novel ''[[Money (novel)|Money]]'' the main character, John Self, is based in part on John Barry (Self's father is named Barry Self as well).

When the film was broadcast on NBC in mid-1984, a number of scenes that had been edited out the original print had been restored: Adam offering to take Alex to Earth; Alex voicing her concern to Adam about taking Hector outside of the complex; Adam taking Hector outside in the moon buggy; Benson asking how Alex's eye was after her accident; Adam leaving Hector near the shuttle probe; Hector re-entering the colony and sabotaging the outer airlock mechanism to prevent Adam from coming back inside; an extended scene of Benson walking down a corridor; Adam trying to re-enter Saturn 3 and blowing the outer airlock door off with an explosive adhesive; an extended scene of Adam in the decontamination chamber; Alex voicing her worry that Hector might have killed Adam; Alex being dragged away by Benson and yelling at him; Adam embracing Alex and watching Hector drag away Benson's dead body; Adam holding a towel to his head after Benson had hit him with a pipe and claiming that "Hector is no humpty-dumpty"; both Adam and Alex wondering how Hector managed to reassemble itself; and finally both Adam and Alex sharing a laugh over a humorous incident while hiding in the communications room.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} Additional music cues were also added to scenes involving the opening credits and Benson's death; in fact, much of [[Elmer Bernstein]]'s score was removed or reedited.<ref>Jeff Bond, liner notes, ''Saturn 3'' soundtrack album, [[Intrada Records]].</ref>

The film was accused of being similar to ''Alien'' but Donen said Barry had the idea several years before that film came out. "It's a pity we didn't get it out first. There is the similarity of the monster villain, but ours doesn't take on the guise of a monster. Ours is beautiful to look at — in a strange way. The alien was a sort of organic reptile with a steei mouth. Ours looks more human— it has legs. Arid we show ours."<ref>Brender p 18</ref>

The film wound up costing over $10 million. "That's a lot for a film with three characters," admitred Donen. "The robot cost a lot more than we expected. It was slower to photograph than we thought it would be. And when John couldn't finish directing the picture, that took time." <ref>Brender p 21</ref>

He added "The limitations of the surroundings was another problem. It was like making a movie in a rowboat. To give the movie variety in that one complex where the characters live was very difficult." <ref>Brender p 21</ref>

Saturn 3 is a 1980 British science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Donen, and starring Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel. The screenplay was written by Martin Amis, from a story by John Barry. Though a British production (made by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment and shot at Shepperton Studios), the film has an American cast and director.

Plot

In the distant future, an overcrowded Earth relies on research conducted by scientists in remote stations across the solar system. Contact is maintained by spaceships shuttling between the stations and large orbiting space stations. Captain James is preparing to depart from one of these stations when he is murdered by Captain Benson (Keitel). Benson, who was rated "potentially unstable" on a mental exam, steals James' cargo ship and departs the station for a small, remote experimental hydroponics research station on Saturn's third moon. Arriving there, he finds the station run solely by Adam (Douglas) and his younger colleague and lover Alex (Fawcett). Adam, Alex, and their dog, Sally, enjoy their isolation far from an overcrowded and troubled Earth. The couple have been on Saturn 3 for three years, but Alex has spent all her life in space, and knows little of the habits and mores of humans who live on Earth.

Alex and Adam's idyll is broken when Benson reveals his mission is to replace at least one of the moon's scientists with a robot. The robot — named Hector — is one of the first of its kind, a "Demigod Series", relying on "pure brain tissue" extracted from human fetuses and programmed using a direct link to Benson's brain. Adam tells Alex that he is the likely candidate for removal, being that he's close to "abort time" and will have to leave anyway.

With Hector assembled, Benson begins preparing the robot, using the neural link implanted in Benson's spine. So connected to Benson, Hector quickly learns of Benson's failure on the test of psychological stability, and also of his murder of James. With little barrier between the robot's brain and Benson's, Hector is soon imprinted with Benson's homicidal nature and his lust for Alex. The robot rebels. Adam and Benson manage to disable the robot while it's recharging, and remove the brain.

Believing the danger over, Adam accuses Benson of gross incompetence, ordering him to dismantle the robot and return to Earth when an eclipse ends (this eclipse also prevents communication to other stations). Unknown to Benson, Adam, or Alex, Hector remains functional enough to take control of the base's older robots, using them to reassemble his body and reconnect his brain. Unaware of Hector's resurgence, Benson attempts to leave the station while dragging Alex with him. Resuscitated, Hector murders Benson before he can leave with Alex. Hector destroys Benson's spacecraft before the scientists can escape in it, trapping them all on Saturn 3, and assumes control of the station's computer.

Trapped in the control room, both Alex and Adam are surprised to see Benson's face on their monitor. The two are directed by a voice they recognize as Benson's to leave the control room, both surprised that Benson is even alive. To their shock, the two are confronted by Hector, now wearing Benson's severed head.

A short time later, Alex and Adam wake in their own rooms. To her horror, Alex finds that Hector has installed a brain link at the top of Adam's spine, much like the one that Benson had, and one which will give Hector direct access to Adam's brain. Hector explains that he can 'read' but taking control of Adam 'comes later'. This causes Adam to rebel and he destroys Hector by wearing a suicide vest and tackling Hector in to a waste pit.

Alex is all alone but sees a computer terminal flashing at her. She picks it up and realizes that Adam and Hector are now in the computer and talk with her. They recommend that she goes to Earth.

In the final scene, Alex is shown aboard a spacecraft above Earth with shuttles leaving for the planet below.

Cast

Development

The project was based on an idea by set designer John Barry. In March 1977 he pitched it to Stanley Donen with whom Barry had made Lucky Lady suggesting that Barry direct and Donen produce. Donen was enthusiastic and took the project to Lew Grade who he was working on with Movie Movie. [3]

Grade read the script while on a plane with Farrah Fawcett. He pitched the film to Fawcett who was interested, and Grade agreed to make the movie, in part on Fawcett's interest.

Donen later said "The script wasn't thoroughly realized at the. point we signed Farrah Fawcett. We had a starting date when Lord Grade got off that airplane but no script."[4]

Scripting

The script was written by novelist Martin Amis who did it for a fee of £30,000. According to Amis' biographer the original script "is at once heroic and pitible, his various attempts at wit, rhetorical bravado, even elegance, being shoe-horned into a directorial enterprise as boorish as The Vikings." Amis says most of the final script was written by Frederick Raphael.[5]

The script changed once Fawcett became involved. "We went through all sorts of thoughts," said Donen. "There were times when we had a story where no one was the villain. But I think there was always an age difference between Farrah and the man with whom she was working. I think we were looking for an older rather than a younger man in every version of the story. Yet I don't feel that the script was changed to accomodate the casting of Kirk Douglas."[6]

In screenwriter Martin Amis's novel Money the main character, John Self, is based in part on John Barry (Self's father is named Barry Self as well). The aging film star "Lorne Guyland", obsessed with his own virility, is based on Douglas.[7] Similarly, the project that John Self attempts to complete is as wracked with disaster as was the production of Saturn 3.

Shooting

Filming started in late January 1979. By February he was fired, according to some reports, due to a dispute with Kirk Douglas.[8]

Donen, who was already attached to the project as producer, replaced him. Reportedly, Donen was dissatisfied with Harvey Keitel's characteristic Brooklyn accent.

The film was accused of being similar to Alien but Donen said Barry had the idea several years before that film came out. "It's a pity we didn't get it out first. There is the similarity of the monster villain, but ours doesn't take on the guise of a monster. Ours is beautiful to look at — in a strange way. The alien was a sort of organic reptile with a steei mouth. Ours looks more human— it has legs. Arid we show ours."[9]

The film wound up costing over $10 million. "That's a lot for a film with three characters," admitred Donen. "The robot cost a lot more than we expected. It was slower to photograph than we thought it would be. And when John couldn't finish directing the picture, that took time." [10]

He added "The limitations of the surroundings was another problem. It was like making a movie in a rowboat. To give the movie variety in that one complex where the characters live was very difficult." [11]

Post Production

Because Keitel refused to take part in post-production looping, Keitel's voice is dubbed over by British actor Roy Dotrice who, for this performance, adopted a mid-Atlantic accent.[12]

Two scenes that had been filmed for the production were edited out, due to Lew Grade objecting to their subject matter. These were a dream sequence that involved both Adam and Alex killing Benson and a scene where Hector ripped apart Benson's dead body on a table in one of the colony's laboratories.[citation needed] Regardless of these cuts, the film received an MPAA rating of R, for scenes of violence and brief nudity. In the UK, the film was given a more relaxed A certificate by the BBFC for its theatrical release, though subsequent home video releases were given a 15 certificate.[13]

ITC was also producing Raise the Titanic! at the same time. As that film went over schedule and over budget and ultimately failed at the box office, the production of Saturn 3 was cut back.[14]

Reception

Box Office

Lew Grade pre-sold the film to NBC for $4 million, which helped minimize its losses.[15]

Criticl

P.J. Snyder reviewed Sunder 3 in Ares Magazine #2 and commented that "Saturn 3 is a sloppy, shoddy production, of the sort that someone out there thinks sf fans just eat up. One hopes the producers and directors working the genre will realize this audience demands more than a leggy blond being chased by a robot. They may have such limited visions, but the audience doesn't."[16]

The film holds an 18% approval rating ("Rotten") at the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews.[17] Based on 8 critics, the film holds a 9/100 on Metacritic, indicated as “overwhelming dislike”. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film one star in his review, criticizing its screenplay for having "shockingly low" level of intelligence, citing moments disregarding the laws of physics, the love triangle between Douglas, Fawcett, and Keitel and other details.[18]

Home media

Saturn 3 was released on VHS by CBS/Fox Video, PolyGram, Magnetic Video and Artisan Entertainment and on laserdisc by CBS/Fox Video and ITC Home Video.

The film was released on DVD by Artisan Entertainment, Geneon Entertainment, and Pioneer Entertainment and again on December 3, 2013 on Blu-ray and DVD by Shout! Factory.[19]

Re-issue

When the film was broadcast on NBC in mid-1984, a number of scenes that had been edited out the original print had been restored: Adam offering to take Alex to Earth; Alex voicing her concern to Adam about taking Hector outside of the complex; Adam taking Hector outside in the moon buggy; Benson asking how Alex's eye was after her accident; Adam leaving Hector near the shuttle probe; Hector re-entering the colony and sabotaging the outer airlock mechanism to prevent Adam from coming back inside; an extended scene of Benson walking down a corridor; Adam trying to re-enter Saturn 3 and blowing the outer airlock door off with an explosive adhesive; an extended scene of Adam in the decontamination chamber; Alex voicing her worry that Hector might have killed Adam; Alex being dragged away by Benson and yelling at him; Adam embracing Alex and watching Hector drag away Benson's dead body; Adam holding a towel to his head after Benson had hit him with a pipe and claiming that "Hector is no humpty-dumpty"; both Adam and Alex wondering how Hector managed to reassemble itself; and finally both Adam and Alex sharing a laugh over a humorous incident while hiding in the communications room.[citation needed]

Additional music cues were also added to scenes involving the opening credits and Benson's death; in fact, much of Elmer Bernstein's score was removed or reedited.[20]
