• Pahrump local J. Neil Schulman published his novel “Alongside Night” in 1979.
The book has been made into a movie and stars Kevin Sorbo of “Hercules” fame.
The screenplay, written and produced by Schulman, follows the storyline of the book. It foretells the story of the economic collapse of America, as seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Elliot Vreeland, who is searching for his Nobel-prize-winning economist father.
The movie is being endorsed by Ron Paul and Milton Freidman.
A press release stated the movie was filmed in Las Vegas and has been getting good reviews around the country. “Even Steven Forbes of Forbes Magazine has seen it.”
Schulman agreed to screen the production here as a courtesy to his home town.
The event scheduled for Saturday, will be preceded by a potluck barbecue beginning at noon, followed by the movie at 2 p.m. in the Nye County Republican Central Committee office, 3370 S. Highway 160, Suite 6.
