Star Trek The Next Generation actor/director Jonathan Frakes will direct a segment of Masters of Science Fiction TV Series entitled "The Discarded", based on a short story by Harlan Ellison (who wrote TOS classic episode"The City on the Edge of Forever"), scripted by Ellison and Josh Olson (Academy Award-nominee A History of Violence).
Ellison posted this on his discussion board on Monday:
"Josh's and my "The Discarded" will shoot in Vancouver July 23rd to August 6th, approximately. I'll likely go up there for the shoot. Oh, and by the way, it'll be aptly directed by Jonathan Frakes. Produced by Keith Addis."
The story deals with a ship of mutants that have been exiled from Earth due to their ugliness. An Earth representative seeks their cooperation when they are the only hope of curing a disease on the home planet.
The story was published in 1959 and anthologized in Ellison's Paingod and Other Delusions. He indicated that he's very proud of the adaptation.
Thanks to "JanS" at the TrekWeb StarTrekBBS for the news.

Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, and Isaac Asimov. Some are original stories; some are adaptations of older classics to attract younger audiences.
The producers, IDT Entertainment and Industry Entertainment, said they can start delivering the series to ABC this month, to air in the 2006-07 TV season.
