Filmmaker and writer Adam Scovell has created a trailer for a nonexistent 70s TV series of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise, by remixing and reworking footage from The Human Time Bomb, an episode of the science-fiction series, Doomwatch (1970-1972).
Watch the trailer for High-Rise here:
The trailer accompanies a piece Scovell has written on Ballard’s influence on 70s TV for the 4th Estate Books blog.
As a bonus, here’s a short film produced by the BBC: The Atrocity Exhibition – JG Ballard and the Motorcar (1970), featuring Ballard and actress Gabrielle (UFO) Drake.
