The entry for the original broadcast appears on page 78 of the October 10-16, 2004 issue of TV Guide. A brief description of this “movie” appears on page M24.

“The concept for this telefilm was originally developed by Dean R. Koontz and collaborator Kevin Anderson, and intended as a television series. When USA Networks joined the project as production company and distributor, Koontz signed on as screenwriter and executive producer. Martin Scorsese also signed on as executive producer, and a cast (most of whom were in the final product) was assembled. Following creative disputes between USA and Koontz, both Koontz and Scorsese left the project (Scorsese was later convinced to return). Koontz and Anderson later developed the concept into a series of novels (as “Dean Koontz’ Frankenstein”), but Koontz allowed USA to use the names of his characters as long as they altered the plot and removed his name from all consideration.”
