The person trying to alter the past-and undo his marriage to his wife, Janine-is Tommy Hambledon, who once dated Janine and resents the fact that she married Mikkelsen instead. The technical term for time travel in Silverberg's story is "phasing," and for protagonist Mikkelsen, the tell for something having been altered in his past is "a taste of cotton" in his mouth. That's when a friend tried to rebuff a would-be interloper by telling him, "Go away, kid, or I'll change your future." Silverberg thought his friend should have threatened to change the interloper's past, and he realized he had a terrific premise for a story. The story goes that Silverberg's inspiration for "Needle in a Timestack" came during a science fiction convention.
The film is based on a 1966 short story of the same name by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning science fiction author Robert Silverberg. Time travel is a common theme in Silverberg's work, most notably in novels like House of Bones and Hawksbill Station. (Some spoilers below for the short story and the film, but no major reveals.) and Cynthia Erivo-that poses an existential question: how can love endure when time itself is constantly in flux? Sure, Needle in a Timestack is not the most compelling title, but Ridley has created a flawed but thought-provoking love story-featuring moving performances by Oscar-nominees Leslie Odom Jr.
A happily married couple finds its life together threatened by a romantic rival who travels back in time to alter his shared past in Needle in a Timestack, a new science fiction film directed by John Ridley.
