News about Oliver Sacks

W. H. Auden (pictured) once said that "the only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel." Although the new plot is somewhat in keeping with the man's colorful life (with the opening line 'Stop all the clocks,') it's entirely in accordance with the man's vibrant life. The work, which appeared in the classic 1994 romcom Four Weddings And A Funeral, has become a staple reading at memorial services around the country. Auden's poem "Not so well known" was not so well known.

Zachary Quinto, who appeared in Heroes, will appear in NBC's upcoming medical drama Wolf as the title character. According to a Deadline article on Tuesday, the 45-year-old actor will appear in the Warner Bros Television project as neurologist Dr. Oliver Wolf. Wolf is inspired by the books The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat and An Anthropologist by late British neurologist Oliver Sacks.

With NBC securing a new project from an unexpected pairing, Andy Serkis and Arrowverse creator Greg Berlanti, a pilot season is getting underway. Wolf, which Berlanti - who was on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May - and Serkis will executive produce, based on neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks' life, who died in 2015 at the age of 82. Although it's unclear if Serkis intends to star in the film, he has been project manager since January 2018, first developing it with Fabrik Entertainment.
