TOUR DE FORCE
Next month, Eastwood starts filming "The Changeling" starring Angelina
Jolie, about a woman whose child is kidnapped. When the child is
returned, she suspects a swap has taken place.
"It's a great tour de force for a woman ... with John Malkovich and a
lot of very good actors," Eastwood said.

"Angelina Jolie is gonna play her," he [Clint Eastwood] added. "She's
actually been interested in the project for a long time, and then she
came aboard. The rest of the casting is in process. I'm starting on it
now and probably gonna cast it in the next week or two."
And it seems it's going to be another dramatic role for Angelina.
"I always like those things where somebody screws with somebody's
brain," Clint admitted. "And that's kind of what they do here. It's
about how she works her way out of it. It's a very good script, and
it's a terrific role for a woman."

So it looks like Angelina's character will be Straczynskied.

Here's the other part of it.
For the last year, very much under the radar, I've been working with
two film makers who have created some of the biggest SF movies in the
last twenty years on a television project. (I can't reveal their
identities, but pick any three of their movies and you have box office
of over two billion dollars.) We've been quietly writing and creating
the first three scripts for a new SF series that would pretty much
revolutionize the form, and which have gone out to the networks for
auction. Offers are coming in. Whether or not the offers are enough
to make the project work -- it's huge -- remains to be seen. Where
this goes will be determined in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

So, the question is "Who are the film makers?" Just one the sheer
volume of dollars, I would have to guess that one is James Cameron.
Shabaz
That sounds really, really intriguing. And most of the names that are
coming to mind with that two billion figure for any three movies of
the two collaborators are pretty exiting.
I don't know if someone else more familiar with television production
scheduling than me can elaborate on this. But if it is being shopped
around right now, would that mean that if the offers are good it could
make the pilot season this winter, and possibly be on air next year if
the pilot works? A quick google search suggest pilots get usually shot
around January. Or am I missing something about how this usually
works?

Cameron really doesn't do that much Sci FI. I would think at least one
would almost have to be Lucas or Spielberg, or not.
Although if it is Spielberg, that does bring up all sorta lines about
Animaniacs in Space (g).

Aliens, T1 & T2, Abyss, Avatar, and Battle Angel? I'd say he does
enough Sci Fi, though I agree that Lucas or Spielberg are good
candidates as well.

No.
Not to mention that, although "Star Wars" has its glories, it is
essentially too dumb for our boy Joe.
On the other hand, "Star Wars" is the only thing more or less
science-fiction that made the specified buckaroonies. If "SF" includes
comic-book adaptations and straight fantasy, then there are more
possibilities. But the money is too much to allow the Wachowski brothers
(unless JMS was just guesstimating), whom I would otherwise bet on.

Darn, I wanted to be the first to guess the Wachowski Bros! I know JMS
raved about the Matrix sequels when they came out and there ARE two of
them. :)

JMS's comment suggests an average box office gross over 2/3 of a
billion dollars. The IMDB has a list of top movies based on "All-Time
Worldwide Box office", and there are 29 films in that range.
James Cameron seems to have only one movie up there. Granted, that's
"Titanic", so the other two don't need to be anywhere near the top,
but I don't think that would lead to JMS's "pick any THREE" comment.
Multiple appearances in that top 29 include:
The Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson)
Pirates of the Caribbean
Harry Potter
Star Wars (George Lucas)
assorted Steven Spielberg films
Spider-Man (Sam Raimi)
Shrek (Andrew Adamson, whose Narnia film is also up there)
I know of two on that list who have collaborated in the past. The
problem with those two is JMS's "last twenty years" restriction: Star
Wars was thirty years ago, and ET was twenty-five, so I don't think he
would have bothered to say that.

How about Tony and Ridley Scott? Certainly there are a lot of

episodes 1, 2 and 3, despite their...quality, were easily some of the
"biggest sf movies in the last 20 years" so was Jurassic park.
speilberg was also involved in transformers(and just about every other
movie made since ET).
as far as Raimi goes, there's the obvious spiderman connection between
the two, but didn't JMS mention something a while back about having a
project with Raimi's team? yeah, here it is.
http://jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-17625&query=sam%20raimi
that was mentioning a rising stars tv series potentially. and for some
reason, "watch the skies" makes me think of rising stars
others have mentioned James Cameron...there's talk about a terminator tv
series, but I don't think Cameron is involved in that.
personally, the way JMS wrote his statement, it makes me think lucas and
speilberg, but according to the article linked regarding the star wars
tv series, i don't think that's the project, mainly because the animated
series is apparently well beyond "the first three scripts for a new SF
series" but is supposedly going to revolutionize the way we think of
animated series(at least, for americans...the project sounds like it's
in the same style as many japanese animation series) and the live action
show just doesn't feel like it would revolutionize anything. from
everything i've heard it's just more star wars.
and speaking of star wars, the Family Guy star wars episode tonight was
pure brilliance.

I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the animation and
parody of the Family Guy Star Wars parody. I had reluctantly tuned in,
since I strongly dislike the Family Guy.
Considering this was done on Fox, I wondered how much George Lucas
assisted in the production. I did not see the production credits, but
wondered whether ILM was involved. One can hope that the animation and
writing for the new Star Wars animated series is of the same high
quality.

Dan, I wondered if ILM was involved, too. Like, maybe they did the
non-character animation entirely, as a sort of test balloon of the new
animated SW series' animation processes.

"Family Guy: Blue Harvest" Concept Art
September 13, 2007
Here's a first look at concept art from the "Family Guy" special
episode called "Blue Harvest" -- a hilarious homage to the Star Wars
saga as unique as only Seth MacFarlane and his talented team of
writers can make it.
Animator Mick Cassidy did all the concept art shown. One of the

"Family Guy: Blue Harvest" Director Talks Star Wars
September 17, 2007
...
Speaking of family men, Polcino can't wait to see what the fans will
think of the upcoming Star Wars special "Family Guy: Blue Harvest"
which he and the rest of the "Family Guy" crew showed a sneak peak at
both Celebration IV and Comic-Con. "Celebration IV was a lot of fun,"
Polcino says. "You had fans who liked 'Family Guy' and Star Wars, and
so it was the best audience for this special. We showed 10 minutes of
clips from 'Family Guy: Blue Harvest.' It was really nice to see the
instant positive reaction from fans. I won't say I'm surprised since
that is the ideal audience, so I'm hoping that the rest of America who
aren't hardcore fans will embrace the show as well. There's definitely
something for everybody."
When Polcino had originally been asked to direct the special he was
more than thrilled. "The "Family Guy" team approached Lucasfilm after
the idea came up to give a whole dedicated episode of the show a
shot," Polcino says. "I suppose George Lucas wasn't bothered by our
previous Star Wars jokes so it worked out. I was fortunate to be asked
to direct "Family Guy: Blue Harvest" because I was immediately aware
it would be a historical episode."

Congrats again. Do you find that when it rains it pours in your

For anybody working in the arts -- writer, director, actor, or any of
the other visual or musical arts -- it's always feast or famine. When
you're down, nobody wants you, when you're up, and can't take on any
other work, that's when everybody wants a piece of you. I've been
luckier than most because my slow periods are still pretty busy, but
there's still a visible arc.
Certainly the last 18 months have been not just busy, but insanely
busy...this is the most frantic period I've had work wise since the
end of B5 when we were finishing up one series, doing 4 TV movies and
launching Crusade and I was getting into the comics field, all at the
same time.
Changeling is less than three weeks from going into production, offers
to directors are going out on World War Z and as soon as someone says
yes it goes into production, Silver Surfer is two steps away from
being greenlit, I'm about two weeks shy of delivering the first draft
of They Marched into Sunlight to Paul Greengrass and Tom Hanks,
another production entity has stepped in to pick up Apocalypse Al,
there's all the comics work (Thor, Silver Surfer Requiem, Spidey), the
script books, the top-secret TV project I've been working on...and
waiting in the wings are at least two more movie offers that I can
take as soon as I finish what's now on my plate.
To some degree, the rest of the year is being complicated by the
coming WGA strike, but honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to
it...it'll be a chance for the first real vacation I've had since
1986/7.

I got to thinking about this a bit, and I'm worried that network execs
aren't really too keen on "revolutionizing" anything... all they want is
another BSG or "Lost" or "Heroes" right now. I can't think of any other
genre series that might have been considered "revolutionary" in the past
few years that made it past one season. But I'm sure Joe and his
mysterious partner(s) are smart enough not to pitch it that way to the
nets.

to do something other than get on a computer. For me its a gym, or
watching TV. Are you a 16 hour a day? Is that your slow day? I'm
trying to understand a little of how it works, without you um.. err
writing a book.

I'm going to guess Spielberg and Cameron.

If he does go with FOX, he better write it to wrap in 3 episodes, or 13
at the absolute outside.

Fox is made of evil. They've killed more truly awesome series than anyone

I see no mention of the Book of Lost Souls there. Does that mean it's
extinct and I should quit hassling my comic dealer about it?

I loved the intro to the first episode of "Family Guy" when it was
revived. Peter names all the shows that FOX started and cancelled
between the cancellation (of production, not when the last episode
aired) and return of "Family Guy":
Dark Angel
Titus
Undeclared
Action
That 80's Show
Wonderfalls
Fastlane
Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Skin
Girl's Club
Cracking Up
The Pitts
Firefly
Get Real
Freaky Links
Wanda at Large
Costello
The Lone Gunmen
A Minute with Stan Hooper
Normal, Ohio
Pasadena
Harsh Realm
Keen Eddie
The Street
American Embassy
Cedric the Entertainer
The Tick
Luis
Greg the Bunny
I never even heard of a bunch of these!

Ditto for "Wonderfalls."

... and Drive, just as the plot was getting interesting.
OTOH, they also have House, and Bones.
All networks do the same thing. NBC killed off "Studio 60" in the
middle of the season, but they also have Heroes.

Joe,
After finding out about the events surrounding the kidnapping and
reading some of the news stories of the day, I can understand why Ron
Howard and Clint Eastwood are so enthusiastic about the script. Jason
Butler Harner who is slated to play the kidnapper describes the
character as a horrible, horrible, wonderful person (and I might add),
one the most twisted characters you have ever written. I am being
intentionally vague so as not to spoil it for others.
