Putting his scientific reputation on the line, he gave his preliminary results to authorities in Guangdong and urged them to cull civets being sold in wild-animal markets. After some hesitation, they did--and since then, the only new SARS cases have come from a handful of lab accidents. "My personal effort stopped the second SARS outbreak," Guan says.

...citing their unwillingness to make the leap to digital. That last comment, along with the aforementioned quotation about Star Wars being a blip, reveal what just might be the central tenet of the McCallum ethos: constant rebellion against the force of film-industry conservatism, all in the name of wild entertainment “You’re losing 15% of your audience every year because the adventure of going to the theater is no longer there,” McCallum says. “The average kid—you know, you’ll go to a major...
