Title: Black Hole
Post by: Iain Fisher on October 22, 2019, 09:28:20 PM
In Chris Wade's documentary on Ken, Xavier Russell says Ken was offered The Black Hole but turned it down.  It featured (but not starring) his friend Anthony Perkins.

imdb summarised the film "A research vessel finds a missing ship, commanded by a mysterious scientist, on the edge of a black hole.".  One scene is described as "V.I.N.CENT. defeats the robot Maximillian by boring through his mid-section with a high powered drill bit. This is similar to how Maximillian killed Dr Durant, so it would seem an appropriate end for the robot."

It sounds like it could be Billion Dollar Brain in space.  I can't see Ken making anything of it.
