SATURN 3 - 1980. co-Directed & Produced by STANLEY DONEN, co-Directed & Story by JOHN BARRY. TAGLINE : "Trapped between unnatural love and inhuman desire" - Two lovers stationed at a remote base in the asteroid belt of Saturn are intruded upon by an anal-retentive technocrat from Earth and his charge: a malevolent eight foot tall robot. First movie as a story writer for science fiction specialist production designer and art director John Barry. The project was based on an idea by John Barry, one of the leading production designers of the 1970s, whose credits included A Clockwork Orange, Star Wars and Superman. He pitched it to Stanley Donen when they were making Lucky Lady together and Donen suggested he produce while Barry direct (Donen had no experience in science fiction prior to this). Original director John Barry wanted to make a small, low budget sci-fi film since he had no experience as a director. But once Farrah Fawcett was attached to the project, the budget was set at $10 million. All of a sudden, Barry was helming a much bigger budget film which is one of the reasons he became overwhelmed and quit. CAST includes Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, Harvey Keitel, Ed Bishop, Roy Dotrice, Christopher Muncke, Vera Goulet. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Original director John Barry had made his name as a set designer, and had been acclaimed for his work on Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) and Superman (1978). After he was removed from this movie, he was working as a second unit director on "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) when he collapsed on-set and died of meningitis. Kirk Douglas reportedly directed this movie for two days after John Barry left the project. Asked about the original director, John Barry's abrupt departure, Stanley Donen said "It was my fault, not John's. The truth is, John had hardly ever been on a set, which I didn't realize. He was such a terrific talent, but he'd spent most of his time in an office. He knew next to nothing about staging a scene, or handling actors, and since nature hates a vacuum, the actors jumped on him. The film started floundering. Finally, I had to tell him 'It's not working. I'll have to be on the set with you'. I had a moral commitment, after all. I'd make sure the film went all right. But when I did turn up on the set, John said he just couldn't work like that, so he left. There was no question of his being fired." At the time, Farrah Fawcett had become so popular that she was given top billing over Kirk Douglas. Producer Lew Grade said he was disappointed with how this film turned out. He said it looked good on paper, but the project started to fall apart due to John Barry's inexperience, Kirk Douglas's ego running riot, Harvey Keitel's lack of cooperation, Farrah Fawcett's lack of character personality and mediocre acting, script problems, and poor planning. Grade said the film he agreed to fund and the end result were almost two different films. Fawcett has also hinted that the film came out different from how it was sold to her before production started. According to Farrah Fawcett's 1997 appearance on David Letterman, the "butt slap" scene was improvised by Kirk Douglas, and for the rest of the shoot he could not keep his hands off her. While it's known that Kirk Douglas took over 2 days of directing, those two days were spent on the scene where Fawcett's character had dirt on her backside. Kirk insisted on using his hands to dirty her pants while she was wearing them. This two day shoot took 57 retakes and resulted in a scene lasting only 17 seconds. He also suggested they include a shot where she steps out of the shower fully nude but she refused. Douglas was removed from directing duties until he was replaced with Stanley Donen. During an interview screenwriter Martin Amis gave in New York City in April 2012, he said Kirk Douglas made life difficult for director John Barry as soon as production began. His preoccupation with maintaining the perception of youthful vigor had been well-documented and it all seemed to come to a head while making Saturn 3. According to Amis, "When actors get old they get obsessed about wanting to be nude, and Kirk wanted to be naked." But Amis revealed that Farrah Fawcett didn't want to be naked and Douglas was reportedly adamant, saying, "What do you mean she won't take her clothes off. She's only a f*****g TV actress. I'll rip her clothes off!" Fawcett finally relented but would only reveal a quick look at her breasts. Farrah Fawcett's topless scene was named #18 in its Top 20 Gratuitous Nude Scenes Of The 1980s by website Flashbak in July 2014. Kirk Douglas had just completed work on The Villain (1979), a comedy-western co-starring a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, and was planning to take an extended vacation, when Stanley Donen approached him for the role of Adam. Douglas was so intrigued with the concept of Saturn 3 that he immediately agreed to do it. He explained in an interview, "These days I only do movies that excite me. I'm looking for a challenge, something new. The idea behind this film is so fresh, so different to anything else I've been offered in the realm of science fiction that I didn't want to miss out on it." Though, reportedly, some sources revealed that the opportunity to romp around naked with Farrah Fawcett (a sexy starlet half his age) probably had a lot to do with him accepting the role.
