TODAY'S NEWS
Saturday, March 26, 2005:
LOST:
Over at the HellmouthCentral.com Web site, it is reported that Emma Caulfield (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) may be joining the
cast of ABC's LOST. Former Buffy writer David Fury is one of the producers of the show.
THE FOG:
Revolution Studios' remake of John Carpenter's THE FOG has begun principal photography in Vancouver, B.C. Directed by
Rupert Wainwright, the film will be released by Columbia Pictures on Oct. 14. The Hollywood Reporter indicated that
SMALLVILLE's Tom Welling and LOST's Maggie Grace will star in the remake with Cooper Layne updating the 1980
screenplay. Carpenter's original thriller told the story of a fog which caused a shipwreck a hundred years ago off the
coast of a Northern California town. But as the fog returns to the town, so do the ghosts of the doomed ship, as the
spirits seek their revenge on the people of Antonio Bay. Welling will play a local boat owner and Grace will portray a
college girl who is back in her hometown for the summer.
SANTA CLAUSE 3:
According to Variety, Michael Lembeck ("Connie and Carla") has been signed by Walt Disney Pictures to direct "The
Santa Clause 3." Ed Decter and John Strauss, who wrote the second film, will pen the screenplay for the third film
as well. Tim Allen will be back in his role as Santa, or Scott Calvin during off-Christmas season, tries to battle it
out with Jack Frost, who threatens to take over the cherished holiday. The film is expected to be released
Christmas 2006.

TRN Enterprises and TRN’s combined history. The show was launched into weekday national syndication just 10
months ago by TRN Enterprises and has already surpassed the 150 weekday-station mark. TRN Enterprises,
CEO Mark Masters couldn’t be more pleased by Doyle’s phenomenal growth, commenting, “Jerry has a style
that is infectious, programmers love him, and so do the listeners – he is becoming a phenomenon”. The Jerry
Doyle Show is pop culture, politics and candidly fast-paced discussion on the issues of the day. A self-described
conservative, Doyle boldly takes talk radio beyond the predictable. “I call it like I see it, “says Jerry, “I don’t hold
back when it comes to being candid on the hot issues.” The Jerry Doyle Show airs live Monday - Friday noon to
3p.m. Pacific, 3p.m. to 6p.m. Eastern with a re-feed 7p.m. to 10p.m. Pacific and 10p.m. to 1a.m. Eastern. The

CLOSING THE RING, a feature film written by Peter, and to be directed by Lord Richard Attenborough, is now
scheduled to start official "prep"... whenever all those final little details can be nailed into place. The film
business being what it is, this is not unusual. Current expectation is that it will begin photography about

everyone back to join him in the Western Caribbean on Jan. 15-22, 2006!!

GRAPHIC NOVELS
LOST IN SPACE:
To commemorate the 40th annivesary of LOST IN SPACE, Bubblehead Publishing, is set to release a 360-page,
full-color graphic novel collecting and completing Bill Mumy's 12-part adventure LOST IN SPACE: VOYAGE TO THE
BOTTOM OF THE SOUL, a story originally published in serialized form by Innovation Publishing in 1992-93 but left
unfinished when the publisher went out of business.
Current plans call for Bubblehead to release the graphic novel in July at San Diego's Comic-Con International,
to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Lost in Space, the TV series, but advance pre-publication sales of the
book will be available on the company's internet commerce site
www.lisvoyage.com. .
Said Mumy: "I'm working with some great people on this project. I'm so glad
the original team is back to finish "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul" properly. For over ten years fans have
been asking me how this huge story ended, wanting me to print the unpublished second half of the scripts
alone, but I didn't want to diminish the piece that way. Michal's artwork looks great and I'm very excited
about it. I've always been proud of this story. You don't have to be a fan of the old television show to get
into this book but those who are will especially enjoy it. It really advances the classic arc of Lost in Space."
