Yes. The most recent work by him in script form I know to
have been produced was his collaborative adaptation (with
Josh Olson, who also adapted the graphic novel A HISTORY OF
VIOLENCE for film) of one of his early short stories "The
Discarded," for the short-lived television series MASTERS OF
SCIENCE FICTION, which ABC telecast in August; though only
four of the six produced episodes were shown in the US, in
Canada the cable channel Space will run all six, including
one adapting a story by Walter Mosley. (The other writers
whose works were adapted were Robert Sheckley--also unseen
here, Robert Heinlein, Howard Fast, and John Kessel...the
series, a companion to MASTERS OF HORROR, was uneven, to say
the least, and not quite what I'd hoped, to judge by the
four.)
I suspect he's still writing fiction, as well...see http://harlanellison.com/heboard/unca.htm
