This magazine gave Rollerball 3.5 pages, most of it taken from press handouts but with some nice quotes from Norman Jewison too.

By Rollerball's William Harrison, sadly only 8 pages are about the film. And he clearly didn't understand that the DIRECTOR is the author of a movie, not the WRITER.

My name is Roger Mitchell. For most of my career I was an editor in TV. I’ve written two books, and next I’m going to do a Making of ROLLERBALL!

A very well-researched book. The author only conducted one new interview, but it WAS with director Norman Jewison!

John Richardson was already a hugely experienced Practical Effects man when he worked on Rollerball. He's done astonishing work on 007s and Harry Potters, etc. Just got his book!

In this 1975 magazine James Caan talks particularly about his Dad's reaction when he said he wanted to be an actor (very unimpressed)!

Nice coverage of what was obviously felt to be an important movie. Strick was a brilliant observer of films, very well informed.

"Hollywood Invents The Most Violent Game Of All!" says Film International magazine in July 1975!

My research goes into a document called ARCHIVE, and I copy bits out of that into an EDIT document so I never lose anything and I know which sources I've used.

I bought a “Stadium” bike helmet and found the faceguard on Ebay. It’s worked out really well, and I’m really pleased I had a go!

Information can be found in books, but also in lots of magazines from 1975...

Just read this really well-researched book. Interesting that the author’s facts don’t always match Norman Jewison’s facts in his autobiography...

Craig Baxley did the motorbike stunts in Rollerball. There's a book about his career? I better buy it!

Some great stories here about James Caan’s days on “The Godfather”. Brilliant book, by the way.

Do we remember THIS scene in the film? Odd, eh? From an Italian fotobusta auction on Ebay now…
