According to Variety, Regency and 20th Century Fox TV will produce the show, with Fox TV Studios-based Synthesis and Woo's Terence Chang-headed Lion Rock Productions. Multiple networks have been pitched the project by packaging agency Endeavor, and network insiders said there's been strong response to the idea.


SMALLVILLE: SPOILER WARNING: In issue 4 of the Smallville comic, Executive Producer, Al Gough, said that the upcoming third season will show how Clark (Tom Welling) deals with all the new information he has received about his origins. "How does he process it, and how will it help him on his road to becoming Superman?" Gough also revealed a number of spoilers for the upcoming season.

Speaking of Pat Tallman, she is a major supporter of Penny Lane, a home for abused children in Los Angeles. Each year, she conducts a Christmas drive -- providing items for each resident of the center. Her, "BE A SANTA" program has been highly successful in the past and it is something that we support each year as well. Pop over to www.beasanta.org for more information about this very worthwhile endeavor. Pat needs your support.


ALIAS: SCIFI.COM has an interview with the cast of ALIAS at http://www.scifi.com/sfw/advance/22_interview.html. They talk about changed coming for this season.


STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE: UPN has confirmed that they will be changing the name of "Enterprise" to STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE with the Sept. 24 episode. UPN sources said in an interview, "It's just a natural tie-in. Everyone calls it Star Trek anyway." A September 23 memo written by UPN's director of communications, Diane Kuri, told affiliates of the change, saying, "Over the past few weeks our marketing and publicity efforts have been using Star Trek: Enterprise for promotional purposes, and by formally changing the show's title, we will be able to further capitalize on and form a stronger connection to the famous and highly successful Star Trek franchise."

SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS: Sandman has returned to the Top 10 Best Seller List and author Neil Gaiman talked to USA Today about coming back to SANDMAN after a seven year break. "When I stopped doing Sandman in 1996, people said, 'Why? Do you hate the character or something?' Gaiman added, "Sandman was always a big resilient structure that was never about superheroes. The giant 2,000-page story is an enormously upbeat tragedy, if such a thing is possible."


TARZAN: The Hollywood Reporter indicates that Shaun Cassidy has left COLD CASE to join WBTV's TARZAN. Cassidy will serve as an executive producer alongside Laura Ziskin, David Gerber, P.K. Simonds and David Nutter. Eric Kripke, who wrote the pilot, is co-executive producing. Sources said the move was amicable and prompted by the greater need on "Tarzan," an ambitious new addition to the WB schedule that has a logistically complicated production, with filming based in Toronto. Cassidy is expected to help the show's producing team with overseeing the writing, production and postproduction on the series.


SAG PRESIDENT: MELISSA GILBERT: To Babylon 5 fans, she will always be Anna Sheridan; or Mrs. Bruce Boxleitner. However, Melissa Gilbert has been re-elected to a second two-year term as president of the performers guild, defeating SAG treasurer Kent McCord Tuesday. Gilbert's running mate, James Cromwell, was elected to the position of secretary-treasurer, defeating board member Esai Morales, who ran on McCord's slate. Gilbert received 15,670 votes, or 49.7% of the 31,500 national ballots tallied, while McCord received 13,242 votes (42.6%). Third-party candidate Gordon Drake got 2,418 votes (7.7%).

911: Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson's spec script 911, a supernatural thriller about an emergency operator who may be receiving calls from her deceased sister has been purchased by Columbia Pictures . Mark Gordon will produce the project. Both writers will also get executive producer credit on the film as well as somewhere between half-a-million and a million dollars for their screenplay. The story centers around a female 911 operator that answers a string of the mysterious phone calls and begins to believe that her dead sibling is warning her about a serial killer and alerting her to who's next on the killer's list. When no one else believes her story she seeks the help of a homicide detective to try and track down the murderer herself before she becomes his next victim.


THE HORROR CHANNEL: There is the Food Network, SCI Channel -- why not the HORROR Channel? Entrepreneurs Nick Psaltos and Kim Bangash are pitching their concept of The Horror Channel, a 24-hour cable specialty network that will broadcast the darker side of entertainment. To help them scare up investors, Psaltos and Bangash have signed veteran horror film directors Wes Craven (SCREAM), John Carpenter (HALLOWEEN) and Tobe Hooper (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) to serve on the channel's advisory board. The Horror Channel needs about $4 million dollars from investors to get off the ground in time for a Halloween night, 2004 launch date. So far only $750,000 of venture capital has been confirmed. As well, another uphill challenge is to convince cable operators to take on the network and offer it to their subscribers.


LORD OF EVERQUEST: When Sony Online Entertainment's LORDS OF EVERQUEST hits shelves this fall, this new real-time strategy (RTS) game inspired by the massively successful EVERQUEST online game will have some really familiar voices associated with it. Taking place in the fantasy land of Antonica, players assume control of one of 15 Lords and manage massive armies in their quest for domination. The game's roster of voice talent has just been announced -- a virtual who's who from genre television and film. Among the voice talent taking part in the game are Kate Mulgrew (STAR TREK: VOYAGER), Ron Perlman (HELLBOY), Claudia Black (FARSCAPE), Kevin Conroy (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES), Fairuza Balk (THE CRAFT), Hudson Leick (XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS), Dwight Schultz (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), Katey Segal (FUTURAMA), John Rhys-Davies (the LORD OF THE RINGS movies), Michael T. Weiss (THE PRETENDER) and Cree Summer (RUGRATS! GO WILD).

"The West Wing" beat out "The Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under" for honors as Best Dramatic Series. For a complete rundown of the night's honors, go to The Hollywood Reporter.

Having been without power for nearly 3 days, logging on to get mail is wonderful! I hope all of you on the East Coast came through the storm well. Big blow, lots of rain, but no major damage!

GAG REEL

As with the other DVDs, there is a gag reel portion on the Season Three DVD as well. Ranger Mike sent along instructions on how to get there.

Babylon 5 Season 3 DVD Blooper Reel

The Season 3 "Gag Reel" is for real! It is actually an Easter Egg (a hidden component in the DVD) and is about three minutes long. There is a brief musical introduction and the segment mostly contains dialog goofs and other blunders the cast had.

To get to the Gag Reel, put in disc #6 and from the main menu:

* Select "The Universe Of Babylon 5"
* Select "Data Files"
* Cursor down Between the middle menu option "The Battle For Babylon 5" and the bottom menu option "The Universe Of Babylon 5". You should get a highlighted "5" logo to appear
* Press select to view the Gag Reel.

PROBLEMS WITH BABYLON 5 DVDS

Ranger Bruce from Uncomyn Gifts sent along the following note regarding the Season Two DVD. It made me wonder if anyone else has encountered any problems or seen any changes that they would like to raise with other Babylon 5 fans. I have received a couple of notes, but so far there hadn't been anything major to mention. See if you have the same problem Bruce has.

Have you had any of your readers mention a production error in the B5 S2 DVD set? I have not had a chance to verify it, but one of my customers says that Knives is on the disks twice - at the end of Disk 4 and the beginning of Disk 5. And the booklet is incorrect from disk 4 on. It shows that there is only 1 episode on disk 6, but there are actually 2. Someone needs to check to see if any episodes are missing from the DVDs... Is there anyone that should be notified over at Warner, or perhaps JMS?

If you have the problem Bruce mentions above -- or you have any others, drop me a note and I'll compile them to share with all of our readers.

JEREMIAH

SEASON TWO TWO-PART OPENER- OCTOBER 10 at 10PM

Showtime has released synopses for "Letters From the Other Side," the two-part second-season opener of Jeremiah.

Ranger Monica has been capturing promo clips from Showtime for JEREMIAH and has them listed at http://abyss.hubbe.net/jeremiah/gallery/clips_s2.html. PART 1

"Jeremiah (Luke Perry), Markus (Peter Stebbings) and Erin (Ingrid Kavelaars) are held as prisoners at Valhalla Sector, where Jeremiah's father, Devon (Robert Wisden), tells his son that his presence has given those in charge a dangerous advantage in their effort to take control of the country. Military dictators of Valhalla Sector use Jeremiah to try to force Devon to reveal the secret of the Black Death. Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), dodging pursuers, encounters the enigmatic Mister Smith (Sean Astin) who says God is sending him messages. One message is for Kurdy to stop trying to find his friend; he will find him if he gives himself over to those who are chasing him. Eventually, Kurdy is captured -- by Lee Chen (Byron Lawson), who takes him back to Thunder Mountain.

"Jeremiah meets Devon's lab assistant, Liberty 'Libby' Kaufman (Joanne Kelly) who tends to him after the Valhalla Sector leaders torture him in an attempt to break Devon's resolve.

"At Thunder Mountain, Lee introduces Kurdy to Meaghan (Suzy Joachim) and outlines a desperate plan to get Jeremiah, Markus and Erin released in exchange for Meaghan. The unsuspecting leaders of Valhalla Sector agree to the swap."

PART 2

"While Valhalla Sector prepares to exchange Markus and Erin, Lee Chen and Kurdy convince a group of dubious Thunder Mountain volunteers to undertake a mission to attack Valhalla Sector. Although they still do not trust Lee, the group has faith in Kurdy and agrees to the mission.

"The leaders take Devon prisoner and place him in the cell next to Jeremiah. Father and son know the leaders are exchanging Markus and Erin but they cannot imagine what Thunder Mountain is offering in exchange -- except that it must provide a key to the Big Death.

"When the exchange takes place, Markus sees Meaghan but is unable to stop her from carrying out her part in the drama. Meanwhile, the Thunder Mountain forces launch their attack on Valhalla Sector. Mister Smith makes his way to the battle just in time to save Kurdy from a sleeper agent within the attack team as the Valhalla Sector leaders return to the base and lock it down with Jeremiah, Devon, Libby and Meaghan inside. As the Big Death spreads through Valhalla Sector, Libby's quick thinking provides a way for Jeremiah and Devon to try attempt survival amidst the turmoil."

Jeremiah's second season launches Friday, Oct. 10 at 10 p.m (ET).

JEREMIAH AND JMS FOR SEASON THREE
Here is a note from the B5 moderated newsgroup related to JMS continuing with JEREMIAH into season three:

"There was a lot in that article on the Pulse that was really badly reported, things were misphrased, two different sentences were put into one, sections are wholly incomprehensible...it's just a train wreck of a piece.

However, even though the article totally misstated the sentence so it didn't make any sense, the last phrase is correct, in that I have zero desire to return to a third season of Jeremiah. Showtime was great, no mistake, but MGM has overall been the most heinous, difficult and intrusive studio I've ever worked for. I've worked for, and had great relations with, Viacom, Universal, Warner Bros., and a bunch more. But I will never, ever, work for the present administration at MGM.

I didn't know why so many other writers had a problem there and never wanted to go back. Now I do."

In another posting, he mentioned:

I read on the net -- was never informed by MGM -- that Jeremiah will be coming to DVD in January or February of next year, and season 2 begins September 19th on Showtime.

** Follow this link to The Pulse article referred to above.

There are a couple of places where you can find information on JEREMIAH. Monica has a very up-to-date site at http://abyss.hubbe.net/jeremiah/. She has a newsletter that you can sign up for as well so that information comes into your mailbox on a regular basis. The "official" website is located at http://sho.com/jeremiah/. It isn't terribly timely, but it does have background about the show if you need it.

DISCUSSION TOPIC

Here's a sort of daydream question for you. If you were SCIFI, what would you evening line-up be? You have a number of good science fiction shows. How would you pull them together? For example, here is my dream line-up for SCIFI:

Monday - 4 episodes of Stargate SG-1
Tuesday - 4 episodes of Farscape
Wednesday - 4 episodes of Babylon 5
Thursday - 1 episode of Crusade, Invisible Man, The Chronicle, First Wave
Friday - 1 episode of Babylon 5, NEW episode of STARGATE SG-1, switch episodes of some old favorites like The Hulk, Knight Rider.

Send in your ideas and comments to sgbruckner@aol.com and I'll start posting them on the Discussion Page for everyone to share.

KEEPING UP WITH CAST AND CREW

STEPHEN AUSTIN: I got a wonderful note from the Pa'Ka'Ma Ambassador, saying that he will be appearing at UNITED FAN CON, November 7-9 at the Sheraton Hotel, Springfield, Mass. (For more information on the convention, go to http://www.unitedfancon.com/. In addition, he's been quite busy with a number of projects. He has has completed work on two CDs and is putting the finishing touches on a DVD/Video -- a compelation of several of his stand-up comedy performances.

DANIEL DAE KIM: Over at StarTrek.com you can find out about the season premiere of ENTERPRISE. Look closely and you'll see Daniel's name under Guest Cast -- Corporal Chang.


PETER WOODWARD: Ranger Spiffy reports: The History Channel UK website has a simple on-line game of Peter Woodward's Conquest. The setup is hilarious! Peter's character challenges the player to a duel involving crossbows, longbows, and battle axes. The design is not morbid--it is cartoonish and the quips from Peter's character are very comical. I think that the game would appeal to anyone who likes history and especially the Conquest tv show. (It may also be a good stress-reliever!) Go to http://www.thehistorychannel.co.uk/index_continue.htm, select games and go to CONQUEST.


GARY COLE: A very familiar face will be showing up on THE WEST WING in the fall. Captain Gideon from CRUSADE, Gary Cole, will be sworn in as the Vice President of the United States. Cole will play Colorado congressman Robert "Bingo Bob" Russell starting with the show's third episode this fall. The character is described by Variety as having a few unconventional ideas.

"Signs and Portents"
By Matthew Sprange
Mongoose Publishing
ISBN: 1-904577-11-3
MSRP: $49.99

From the review written at http://www.scifi.com/sfw/current/games.html B5 fans might want to pick up this game whether they actually play it or not. Based on the first season of the series, the "fact book" portion of the book includes an overview and maps of Babylon 5 and an episode-by-episode breakdown of the first season.

TRADING CARD HELP

Ranger Tia sent along this note to share with B5 card collectors:

Don't know if you've heard of my card program yet or not, but I thought the other B5 card collectors might like to try it out. With having almost all of the B5 trading cards and CCG cards available and no program to keep track of them withm, I started writing my own. Here's the website for it. Go half way down and click on the small screen shot for a full size screen shot. I have the pic of Pat Tallman's card from the Profiles card set feautured in the shot.

Oh, and I also have a lot of the card lists already saved as files so people won't need to type in all the card names. Being written by a B5 fan, ALL the card lists have already been made and are downloadable. :)

iBOOKS PUBLISHES JMS' PROSE WORK

Press Release
He raised the bar for epic science-fiction storytelling on television with his syndicated series Babylon 5, then followed it by elevating the way in which superhero tales are told with his critically acclaimed scripts for Marvel's The Amazing Spider-Man and Supreme Power. Now, New York-based publishing house ibooks, inc. is pleased to announce that it has solidified plans with Hugo, Eisner and Emmy award-winning writer and producer J. Michael Straczynski to re-introduce his growing number of fans to some of his earlier works.

October 2003 will see the release of Demon Night, Straczynski's first novel. "What made Demon Night work", says Straczynski in a new afterword written specifically for this edition, "and the reason that it has now been picked up for republication by ibooks, is that I wrote it for myself, out of a love of the form, the genre, and a desire to be entertained by a story told about characters who mattered to me."

Following Demon Night will be Straczynski Unplugged, to be released in April 2004, a collection of published and all-new short stories, including a number of dark tales adapted from his episodes written for the TV series The New Twilight Zone. At press time, release dates for the remaining titles, the horror novel Othersyde and the supernatural-mystery Tribulations, had not been determined.

Demon Night is not ibooks' first encounter with the writer, however: His best-selling comic book series J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars" published by Top Cow Comics was novelized for ibooks in two volumes by author Arthur Byron Cover. Both volumes are still available from book retailers, with Book 3 to follow after the series reaches its conclusion.

One doesn't have to look far to see just how popular a writer Straczynski has become in recent years. At this year's Comic-Con International: San Diego, Marvel Comics announced that pre-orders for his upcoming Mature Readers series Supreme Power passed the 100,000-copy marks a new record for retailer orders on a Mature Readers title. He has worked as writer/producer for such series as Murder, She Wrote, Jeremiah and Walker, Texas Ranger, and he has published over 500 articles and numerous short stories for such publications as the Los Angeles Times, Time Inc, Amazing Stories, Penthouse, Writer's Digest, Pulphouse, The Los Angeles Herald Examiner and Twilight Zone Magazine.

Scheduled for release in October 2003, Demon Night is a trade paperback-sized novel retailing for $11.95, available now for ordering through comic shops, book stores, and on-line book retailers (ISBN 0-7434-7522-4).

RISING STARS

Here is an update from Comics Continuum:

Top Cow's Rising Stars: Untouchables, a five-issue series originally solicited bi- monthly to start in September, is being resolicited as a monthly title to start in April 2004.

"Rather than put out issue #1 now and have fans wait months until the next issue is ready, we figured we’d wait, give Brent plenty of time to do several issues, and resolicit it so fans can follow it on a monthly basis," said editor Renae Geerlings.

Written by Fiona Avery with story edits by J. Michael Stracynzski, Rising Stars: Untouchables tells the story of Laurel Darkhaven, one of the 113 Specials from Peterson, Illinois.

While her telekinetic power seemed unimpressive while she grew up, the CIA recruited her with the promise of serving her country. Instead, she was forced into wetwork operations and turned against the Agency to find the employer responsible for her missions. The series chronicles her life from high school graduation to the moment she dies in Poet’s arms.

Crusade Cast Stephen Austin Peter Woodward on Charmed






Peter Woodward has sent along a new photo -- a rather dreadful one -- from his appearance on CHARMED. It will be added to the collection of photos available from Peter, including additional copies of the Crusade poster in photo format. Both are autographed by Peter.

You do NOT have to pay the prices asked for over at e-bay! Here are photos of B5 and Crusade cast members at fantastic prices. Check out Photo Shop. Ordering is easy -- and you can't beat the prices! Just let me know which photos you want and I'll check to make sure they are still in stock.

MAIL FOR CAST AND CREW

Here's a recent note from JMS on the subject:

Just an FYI to those who've been using the Ventura Blvd. mail drop for fan mail to actors....

As mentioned before, we're phasing out the forwarding of fan mail because we a) don't have the resources, complicated by b) the actors have scattered to the four winds, and it makes it very difficult to get everything to everybody in a timely fashion.

So, having provided prior notice...fan mail to actors coming to the Ventura Blvd. mail drop will be sent back. Mail to actors should be sent via their official fan clubs. I will still be taking mail there, since it's my mailbox, but that's it.

Just so's y'all know and save a few bucks on postage and returns.
