(title: "Lost in Space" (1965)) Ed Shifres book Space Family Robinson: The True Story precipitated the arrangement for writer/director Ib Melchior to be given screen credit in the Lost in Space - Perduti nello spazio (1998) movie produced by Prelude Pictures and distributed by New Line Cinema, and Melchior worked as special adviser to Mark W. Kochin the film because Melchior was the creator of the original Space Family Robinson, a 1960 screenplay which became Irwin Allen's Lost in Space (1965) TV series. Allen's original pilot No Place To Hide (1 January 1965) is almost a carbon copy of Melchior's Space Family Robinson 1960 screenplay. Melchior was never credited for the creation, until the details were exposed in Ed ShifresSpace Family Robinson: The True Story(Windsor House-1996) and re-published as Lost in Space: The True Story (Windsor House - 1998). The book was extremely controversial and earned Melchior a monetary settlement and recognition as the creator of what became Lost in Space. The book was critically acclaimed with excellent reviews from Hollywood notable writers. To satisfy Melchior, Prelude Pictures hired him as a consultant on their feature film adaptation. Melchior's contract also guaranteed him 2% of the producer's gross receipts, a provision that was later the subject of a suit between Melchior and Mark W. Koch of Prelude Pictures. Although an Appellate Court ruled partly in Melchior's favor, on November 17, 2004 [ironically the exact month/day of the Second Revised shooting Final Irwin Allen pilot script in 1964], the Supreme Court of California denied a petition by Melchior to further review the case.
