My Favourite Line!

Thursday, 23 August 2007

Between rounds of gunfire, burning debris and Rambo-nerd acting and in a desperate bid to keep in touch I've resorted to video yet again.

Just uploaded this to Youtube for your enjoyment:

My favourite line Season - Four Episode 1 "Adrift"

Gunfire in studio 3! I'm a Rambo-nerd!

Life cast and a whole whack of interviews completed...I'll tell you, the whole face casting thing is a lot easier than my "Pin" days!

Back from Bellingham...great stuff...and NO homework?! My kind of classes...now I better go learn my lines for Monday!

Weekend classes...seemed like a good idea when it was a long way in the future! Now it's just Sat. and early!

they're booking me for a life cast! apparently i'm to get very old.

Terminal city yesterday & today...guns and wraith and spark hits. It's hot...too hot for my leather "stealth" jacket ;-)

We've got an old friend on set this week! Won't you be Mchappy ;-)

Nice walk around the harbour. Mars had to go and roll in some kind of "matter" so we all got to shower under the garden hose on our return!

American Life TV buys four sci-fi series

Net nabs Irwin Allen-produced shows from 1960s

By JOHN DEMPSEY

'Lost in Space' is set to air on American Life TV network this fall.



American Life TV, the network aimed at retiring baby boomers, has raided the vaults of Twentieth TV to buy four sci-fi series from the 1960s produced by Irwin Allen: "Lost in Space," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," "The Time Tunnel" and "Land of the Giants."

The Allen series will take over American Life's schedule Thursday night; the network will stack them, starting at 8 p.m. Sept. 6.

"Voyage," based on Allen's 1961 theatrical, is his longest-running series (1964-68). "Lost in Space" (1965-68), was remade as a theatrical by New Line in 1998, seven years after Allen died.

I’ve been busy: working on my producer’s cut of Kindred I, doing a polish on Martin Gero’s already great Harmony script, and dealing with miscellaneous publicity/production issues - but still managed to find time to send off two emails to my Nigerian penpals -

Teyilia writes: “1) do you guys even have the finale written yet? 2) when you say 'five acts and a teaser' is the Teaser BEFORE the five acts start? or before?”

Answers: 1) It’s in the process of being written. 2) The teaser comes before the five acts.

**snippage**



Iamza writes: “Out of curiosity, will we learn anything new and surprising about the replicators this season?”

Answer: Possibly.



Paula writes: “Bates: Still in a coma?”

Answer: Nope.



Anonymous #1 a ecrit: “ 1. Est-ce que tous les Wraiths ont des tatouages ? 2. Est-ce que l'on va découvrir la signification de ceux-ci? Ttod. 3. C'est vraiment son nom Wraith ? Je croyais que vous ne pouviez pas donner de nom aux wraiths car vous ne l'aviez pas fait dès le début. 4. Auriez-vous changé d'avis ? Si oui, 5. va t'on découvrir le nom d'autres Wraiths ?6. est-ce qu'il va y avoir une réelle amitié entre Todd et un membre de l'équipe d'Atlantis?

Reponses: 1) Non. 2) Non. 3) Non. 4) Non. 5) Non. 6) Une réelle? Non.



Arctic Goddess writes: “… there a move toward fewer episodes on Scifi, and do you see Atlantis and the new series going that way?”

Answer: Nope.


Zabadoo writes: “1.)Do you think we'll be seeing Earth a lot in the new Stargate Universe spin-off? 2.)When Brad and Rob start working on that, do you think you will stick with Atlantis and stay as show-runner on it, or do you think Brad and Rob have other plans for you? 3.)Are you a Batman Begins fan? If so, what do you think about The Dark Knight?”

Answers: 1) Possibly. 2) If it gets a fifth season pick up, I’m hoping to be working on Atlantis next year. 3) I loved the first half.




Sikie writes: “I think that Stargate in general and especially Atlantis lacks Real Aliens.”

Answer: No, no, I‘m pretty sure that pretty much all of the aliens on Stargate have been fake.



Pauline writes: “Can you tell me is there anything about your work that you dislike?”

Answer: Yes. Sometimes the caterers serve orange roughy for lunch.

Review: Sci Fi's 'Mega Snake' a slithery Saturday night chiller

"Mega Snake" premieres Saturday, August 25 @ 9 PM ET/PT, on Sci Fi.

By April MacIntyre Aug 22, 2007, 19:54 GMT

The Sci Fi Channel has brought the chill and the thrill back to Saturday night, family friendly scary fare that harkens the days of Saturday night Chiller Theater or Tales from the Crypt (a PG-13 version).

“Mega Snake” is Sci Fi’s Saturday night original movie featuring a special appearance by “Feedback” (a.k.a. Matthew Atherton), last year’s winner on the hit Sci Fi original series “Who Wants to be a Superhero?” and stars Michael Shanks, of Stargate SG-1 fame.

Producer Boaz Davidson conjured up an interesting southern gothic yarn of two brothers and their parents, Pentecostal snake handlers in the Tennessee hills, and a crisis of faith moment during a snake handling service that renders the stricken father left to die in front of his family.

Cut to twenty years later, and the brothers are still at loggerheads.

**snippage**

Notable is the exceptional camera work of cinematographer Emil Topuzov and director Tibor Takács, and the beautiful Bulgarian countryside that the location manager scouted that does a good job mimicking the verdant American southeast.

Popcorn fun for the family, it will be too much scary slithery action for smaller kids, and people truly afraid of snakes should just wait for "Flash Gordon" or "Stargate: Atlantis."
