http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)

Noted Hungarian science fiction writer Istvan Nemere claims that most of Demolition Man is based on his novel Holtak harca (Fight of the Dead), published in 1986. In the novel, a terrorist and his enemy, a counter-terrorism soldier are cryogenically frozen and awakened in the 22nd century, when violence was purged from society. A copyright investigation proved that 75% of the film is identical to the book. However, Nemere chose not to initiate a lawsuit, as it would've been too expensive for him to hire a lawyer and fight against major Hollywood forces in the United States. The author claims that Hollywood had ripped-off works of many Eastern European writers after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and that he knows the person he claims to be responsible for illegally selling his idea to the f
 ilmmakers.[16]

I'm not sure
if this link has been posted on this site earlier, but there this is a positive
cryonics article from the Herald Sun in Australia

 

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/victorias-bid-for-frozen-stiffs/story-e6frf7kx-1225926960913

 

On the whole, cryonics seems to receive good press in Australia
and may be part of the reason such a small country have so many cryonicists

 

Long life,

 

Marta
