Latest News
Finally, a few things to report... First, some David Selby news. Shadow of Fear is not playing anywhere within a 40 mile radius of Los Angeles where we get almost all movies in "limited" release. Personally, a small indie movie would do much better in the spring and/or fall where it won't get overshadowed;) by the summer blockbusters.
On August 10th, 2004 at 1:00 p.m., a staged reading will take place of David Selby's play, Final Assualt at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia for The Appliachian Festival of Plays. Information on tickets can be found at the click.
Matt Czuchry has been hired by WB's "Gilmore Girls" in a recurring role. He'll play Alexis Bledel's new love interest. Whoever she is....
Garth Ancier, Chair$%* of WB, has discussed at a fall preview press conference reported by Sci-Fi Wire here and here why WB did not pick up the 2004 Dark Shadows pilot and why Angel was cancelled in February. He contridicts Jordan Levin or himself in previous comments in several places in both articles.
Dark Shadows: Ancier states on the one hand that the 2004 pilot was "wonderfully" produced by John Wells and well written (Mark Verheiden, you go). Then he says it was "unsalvageable" on the other, due to director PJ Hogan. However, had Wells pressed the WB to take the project for the fall, they would have taken it. Ancier then concludes that Wells felt it "unsalvageable" too. Further, this also contradicts statements previously made by Shadowgram that the show was being shopped.
Sci-Fi Wire: Oops... The original director was Rob Bowman who bowed out to shoot Elektra, not Goldman. Hee hee. ROFLOL!!!!
Angel: Ancier states that WB wants some TV movies of Angel and they have made an offer to Joss Wheedon. Then he proceeds to put the blame on 20th Century Fox for Angel's pre-May demise because they pressed for an early decision for fall renewal. Had both parties waited then maybe it might have made it. This contradicts the February statements of Jordan Levine who blamed the TV's aging retiring dramas like Friends and Fraiser, the need to establish new ones that could repeat plus a need for more reality programming.
The WB gets the victoriawinters.net "Whatever, I Don't Know", award to the double tongued WB for it's latest media spin.
