HAWAII FIVE-O NEWS
As premiere season draws closer, we get more information about upcoming new shows. HAWAII FIVE-O was one
of my favorite programs and the new HAWAII FIVE-O will bring us a number of old friends back to the tube.
We know James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville) can play a pretty convincing bad guy and he
does so again in the pilot. In fact, it is so convincing that what happens to him in the show probably
isn't the last word on the character.
SPOILER ALERT:
In an interview with FIVE-O executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Peter Lenkov were asked if the new show
would have a character similar to Wo Fat (Khigh Dhiegh), the long-time nemesis of Steve McGarrett (Jack
Lord) on the original series.
"One of the first things we talked about is how do we get Wo Fat into the show," Lenkov says. "If you think
about Victor Hess" -- the villain played by Marsters ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Caprica") in the series
premiere -- "having gone off that barge and not surfacing [in the climax of the episode] -- I think you can
truly believe Victor Hess can be a Wo Fat character in our franchise."
So does that mean Marsters will be returning? "That's the plan," Lenkov says. "But we have a huge twist with
that character. So the idea is it's possible that he could come back; we have a storyline for him, and it's
definitely something we're entertaining right now."
Marsters is one of several recognizable guest stars in the HAWAII FIVE-O pilot. Jean Smart plays the governor
of Hawaii in what will become a recurring role on the show, and William Sadler ("The Pacific," CBS' "Jesse
Stone" movies) plays McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) father. It's part of the drive by Lenkov, Kurtzman and
fellow exec producer Roberto Orci to make the show "event television."
"That means everything from the way the show looks to the way we cast this thing," Lenkov says. "We're trying
to go for actors that don't necessarily do television but are gravitating to this because they like the project
-- they've seen promos, they've read scripts, they just sort of know the buzz. And we're getting really amazing
names brought to us."
Kurtzman wouldn't give up any other names, but he promises that "there will be more."
SMALLVILLE
The sneak peak at SMALLVILLE's last season is here. The CW whets the collective fan appetite with hints of tight
suits and that whole flying thing. It's also pretty much one giant tease, but no one expects them to spill all
the beans in a trailer when the payoff has been 10 seasons in the making.
So what do we see here? The suit arrives in a mysterious garment box, Hawkman (Michael Shanks) is back for a
second round and Clark (Tom Welling) still hasn't found a woman tall enough to kiss without first propping her
up on a stack of Daily Planets.
There is a noticeable red hue to everything this year! Could it be the blue blur is adding some color?
AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS
When Guillermo del Toro announced at Comic-Con that he'd be developing a "scary" version of The Haunted Mansion
and a "very strange" adaptation of Pinocchio, he also hinted at a third project—an all-new horror film he'd start
directing in May. But what he never hinted was that in order to pull that project off, he'd be bringing in—
James Cameron!
According to Deadline, del Toro's next directing gig will be to adapt H. P. Lovecraft's novella AT THE MOUNTAINS
OF MADNESS as a 3-D film for Universal Pictures, with the Avatar director coming on board as a producer.
Cameron has decided not to put his name on many future movies outside of the 3-D reboot of FANTASTIC VOYAGE, but
is reportedly making an exception for del Toro, a decision which helped win over the studio.
AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, part of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, was originally published in a 1936 issue of
Astounding, and concerns a scientific expedition to the South Pole which goes horribly wrong.
ALIEN PREQUEL
According to Deadline, LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof has signed on to do rewrites on director Ridley Scott's
Untitled ALIEN Prequel. It will be his first solo writing gig since LOST, an opportunity he jumped at because
Scott's 1979 space thriller was such a huge influence on him, although Lindelof is also currently writing the
sequel to J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, following their collaboration on Jon
Favreau's COWBOYS AND ALIENS. Deadline reports that this prequel isn't necessarily going to be Scott's next
movie, as he has a couple other options including GUCCI, which may team Scott with Angelina Jolie as Maurizio
Gucci's ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani, an adaptation of Justin Cronin's THE PASSAGE, or THE WOLF OF WALL STREET,
which would reteam Scott with Leonardo DiCaprio with Martin Scorsese producing.
YOGI BEAR
The unlikely pairing of Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake provide voices to the classic animated characters
Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, respectively, in a big screen adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series.
When Jellystone Park is found to be losing business, greedy Mayor Brown decides to shut it down and sell the
land. That means families will no longer be able to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors -- and,
even worse, Yogi and Boo Boo will be tossed out of the only home they've ever known. Faced with his biggest
challenge ever, Yogi must prove that he really is "smarter than the average bear" as he and Boo Boo join
forces with their old nemesis Ranger Smith to find a way to save Jellystone Park from closing forever.
The film also stars Tom Cavanagh as Smith and Anna Faris as Rachel. YOGI BEAR hits theaters on December 17, 2010.
LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIANS
An all-new poster for THE LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE has debuted on Yahoo Movies as part of a series
of newly-released stills.
The film, from writer/director Zack Snyder, adapts the young adult book series by Kathryn Lasky, tells the story of
Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a mythic band of winged
warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of
someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal
his father's favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences--causing both owlets
to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring
escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the
Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole--Soren's only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.
THE RETREAT
Fresh off his appearance in Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION, Ireland's Cillian Murphy is set to star in the British
thriller THE RETREAT opposite Thandie Newton, set to start shooting in Wales in September. Sony Pictures has
already claimed the UK distribution rights to the movie about a married couple who rent a cottage on a remote
island to fix their marriage, plans cut short when a soldier wearing a biohazard suit washes up on the beach
claiming that everyone on the mainland has been killed by a virus.
Written by planned first-time director Carl Tibbets, an editor who worked on films like Alien vs. Predator, the
high concept thriller is being described as a cross between Knife in the Water and Dead Calm. It's produced by
Gary Sinyor of Magnet Films exec. produced by famed talk show host David Frost.

for others to read about and I hope you will join in to discuss of the issues --
related to science fiction or not!
NEW INTERVIEWS
Marc N. Kleinhenz has begun a series of interviews of the cast of BABYLON 5, one of the landmark television
shows in American history. Look back with them as they discuss their characters, their emotional evolution,
and their participation in television history.
BABYLON 5 PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK
I know a lot of you are already on FaceBook. However, I don't know if you knew how many other Babylon 5
folks have taken the plunge and opened FaceBook accounts. In fact, Pat Tallman has reopened her Fan Club
using FaceBook at the site. For a peek, go to
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=45593318387. Claudia Christian has been really active -- sharing
pictures of her recent trips and letting us know about upcoming convention activities. J. Michael Straczynski
has a FaceBook presence as well. So check it out!
Bill is inviting you to check out his brand new weekly radio show, "THE REAL GOOD RADIO HOUR with your
host Bill Mumy". We'll be listening to many different styles of music and learning about those who
pioneered them. "The Real Good Radio Hour" will air every Wednesday and Friday at 7 PM both Pacific
and Eastern time and can be heard weekly on KSAV.org.
Bill has a new place on FaceBook as well
http://www.myspace.com/billmumy. There you will find information about some of his new projects,
including a graphic novel LOST IN SPACE and a Star Trek novel with Peter David, "The Return of the Worthy."
Here is a quote from J. Michael Straczynski about emotions. I had this theory that the more important and intimate the emotion, the fewer words are required
to express it.
First it's in dating: "Will you go out with me?" Six words.
"Honey, I care for you." Five words.
"You matter to me." Four words.
"I love you." Three words.
"Marry me." Two words.
But what's left? What's the one most important and intimate word you can ever say to somebody?
It's "goodbye."
While Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar), Rick (Biggs) and Tim (Choate) are no longer with us,
we will not forget their wonderful personalities and talent -- as well as their
significant contributions to the BABYLON 5 universe. Be sure to visit
In Memory Of for more
information about memorial efforts.
Until we met again, in a place where no shadows fall.

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE - SEASON THREE
Release date: July 27, 2010
I-tunes download site: http://bit.ly/WBS_Christine3
Audiences will love Emmy® Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld) as Christine Campbell in the third season
of this hilarious ensemble comedy.
Life gets even more complicated for Christine in season three when she recognizes that her ex-husband, Richard
(Clark Gregg - Ironman), has moved on with his life and his impossible-to-hate new girlfriend, aptly named New
Christine (Emily Rutherford - Van Wilder). While successfully juggling the daily stresses of motherhood and
owning a woman's gym with her best friend, Barb (Wanda Sykes - The Wanda Sykes Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm),
"Old" Christine realizes it may be time to move on with her love life as well. Things get steamy for Christine
as she embraces a romantic relationship with Mr. Harris (recurring guest star Blair Underwood - Dirty Sexy Money,
Something New, L.A. Law), a teacher at her son Ritchie's school. Will Old Christine finally find new love?
Synopsis
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between
the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to
save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing to lose, Perseus volunteers to
lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth.
Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, Perseus and his warriors will only survive if Perseus accepts his power as
a god, defies fate and creates his own destiny.
REVIEW
I really didn't know what to expect from this movie. The reviews were mixed and like most remakes, CLASH OF
THE TITANS will always be compared to the one before -- in this case the 1981 version starring Harry Hamlin as
Perseus. This version is a more realistic Bronze age world, but the story hasn`t changed all that much. The
citizens of Argos have become disenchanted with the rule of the Gods. The Gods have caused too much chaos and
ruin to their lives so they've decided to take their destinies into their own hands, and destroy the temples
and statues of the Gods. In doing so, Perseus'(Sam Worthington) family is killed by a falling statue of Zeus.
When Zeus (Liam Neeson) learns of the desecration urged on by Hades (Ralph Fiennes), he decides to destroy the
city in four days or they can offer the sacrifice of the King of Argos' daughter Andromeda (Alexa Davalos). In
a visit to the throne room of Argos, Hades tells Perseus he is a son of Zeus, a demi-god. Being told of his near
divinity, Perseus and a group of soldiers go off on their quest to save the city.
The advances in special effects are very evident in this movie. They are great! The monsters look real and the
characters realistically interact with them. The giant scorpions look deadly, Medusa is creepy, and the Kraken
is HUGE. I sort of had a flashback to STAR WARS as I watched the heroes riding the scorpions with the help of
a tribe of warriors made of stone. The photography is awesome.
The special features are wonderful as well. You follow the crew as they build the ships and sets. This project
became a labor of love for everyone. This is a good adventure movie everyone should enjoy.
SUPER FRIENDS
Release date: July 20, 2010
Available for the first time since its debut in 1973, this highly-anticipated deluxe two-disc collector’s set
features eight exciting one-hour episodes starring the most recognizable DC Comics super heroes and villains
of all time.
Super Friends! Season 1 Volume 2 follows the adventures of Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman and Aquaman
as they join forces to save the world from unthinkable disasters. This crime-stopping squad, along with heroes
in training Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog, combine their special superhuman skills to defeat the evil villains
at hand. The collection also features DC Comics favorites Plastic Man, The Flash and Green Arrow. Each hour
is packed with timeless adventures of the universe’s greatest heroes as they pave the way for a brighter
future.
ER: THE COMPLETE 13th SEASON
Release date: July 6, 2010
Synopsis:
Shaking things up: Former paramedic, now intern Dr. Tony Gates arrives with a straightforward attitude and a
complicated personal life. Except for his devotion to healing, he’s Gallant’s opposite: brash, cocksure, with
a bad-boy past – and maybe he’s the right prescription for Neela’s broken heart. Really shaking things up:
Contentious Weaver leaves County General for a career move you wouldn’t expect. And the profound dramas of
the outside world continue to make their way to the ER, including a hostile patient whose real condition is a
secret even to himself, homeless children who escape to a magic world of their own making, and a Christmas miracle.
Then again, miracles happen every day at County General.
REVIEW
This series just keeps going and going. This season opens with trama in the ER -- both patients and doctors are
affected. The drama builds as Abby has her baby and Sam is kidnapped by her ex-husband. Each episode of the series
is filled not only with your usual hospital drama, but deep charcterizations that have made this series a favorite
for years. Even if you haven't been following the series for years, you can enjoy the well-written episodes that
involve some very good segments showing surgery and trama medicine, but you'll quickly get caught up in the personal
lives of the staff at County General. This season includes guest appearances from Forrest Whitaker, who received
an emmy nomination for his role as Curtis Ames, a former patient of Dr. Kovac who sues him for malpractice.
DARK BLUE – THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Release date: July 6, 2010 exclusively online at WBSHOP.com and TNT.tv
DARK BLUE (from iconic producer Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Golden Globe® winner Dylan McDermott) is the
story of Lt. Carter Shaw (McDermott) and his special undercover task force that tread the line between right
and wrong to bring down a criminal underworld.
Experience each heart-stopping moment again or for the first time with the release of SEASON 1 on DVD before
the start of the all-new DARK BLUE Season 2, August 4 only on TNT.
REVIEW
If you are looking for a good, tight, gritty police drama, look no further than DARK BLUE. From the pilot onward, you
get a little information on each of the main characters -- just enough to keep you watching! Dylan McDermott is an
awesome actor and he fits the persona outlined for Lt. Carter Shaw. In the pilot, one of the main characters says,
he will do anthing to protect you and anything to get the bad guy. It's just hard figuring out which one comes first."
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, you get that feel of realism and you are on the edge of your seat with each episode.
There is a good bit of violence, so it may be a bit much for some. But the violence fits the feel of this cable TV
show -- dark and hard. I can't wait to see what season two brings.
THE CLOSER: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON
Release date: June 29, 2010
Official website: http://www.closerondvd.com
Synopsis:
At work, L.A. Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson is a woman in charge. Got a suspect to grill, a case to crack, a murderer
about to walk? Call Brenda in and watch the fireworks. But at home...well, that's another story. Kyra Sedgwick
headlines a sizzling 4-disc, 15-episode Season 5 of the series that combines heart, humor and homicide into a
show that's equally compelling as a police procedural and a personal drama. As a cop, Brenda takes on everything
from a corpse that comes COD to a serial killer to Sharon Raydor, an internal affairs officer as tough as she is.
As a civilian, Brenda loses one family member (bye, Kitty) and gains another: her surly niece Charlie. Brenda
can outsmart, outmaneuver and out a killer. But can she handle a teenager?
HOW THE EARTH CHANGED HISTORY
Release: June 29, 2010
Product Description:
The traditional interpretation of history has focused largely on human factors. Yet the natural environment has also
shaped history since the dawn of time. This series reveals for the first time on television how geology, geography
and climate have had a far more powerful influence on mankind than has previously been acknowledged. With passionate
storytelling and extraordinary HD camerawork, this series combines bold ideas with a new science, geo-determinism,
to form an original version of human history. Discover why societies have succeeded or failed, and how the environment
has influenced every aspect of our history from art to industry, religion to war, world domination or collapse. This
series overturns preconceptions about our nations and our cultures to offer a new perspective on who we are today.
REVIEW
Iain Stewart takes you on a journey to some of the most remote parts on the Earth. The journey is divided into water,
deep earth, wind and fire. Each segment will show how these elements have affected history on Earth. Water, or the lack
of it in places like the Sahara Desert, has shifted the balance of power. He traces how ancient people tried to manage
water and how water affected the economy as well as culture of civilization.
BBC has done an awesome job on this DVD. The photography is amaing. You follow Stewart as he ventures underwater to see
where caves lead; down caverns and caves to see how ancient civilizations built tunnels to manage water. Ever wonder
about the faults of the Earth? You will learn all about them and see how they have been dealt with from ancient times.
A very educational -- and entertaining -- DVD.
EVERWOOD: COMPLETE THIRD SEASON
Release date: June 15, 2010
Official website: http://www.everwooddvd.com
Synopsis:
This season, love is in the clear mountain air of Everwood. Back from a troubled summer at Juilliard, Ephram
commits himself to his music and to Amy. Andy is drawn to a patient’s wife – and into an ethical dilemma. Dr.
Jake Hartman moves to town and starts eating a lot of pancakes, as long as Nina’s serving ’em up. And mousey
Hannah Rogers flips over Bright. But don’t expect love to conquer all, especially when the secret Andy kept
from Ephram last season comes spilling out. Suddenly, trust is destroyed, lives are turned upside down and
the bonds of love – romantic and father-son – are stretched to the breaking point. Andy wanted Everwood to
be his family’s home. Now it may be just another place they used to live.
REVIEW
I loved this series from the very first episode. When we got to Season Three, there were moments of "soap opera"
stories, but because the characters were so well developed, you wanted to see how things would work out. When
new characters were introduced, like Jake Hartman, you want Nina to be happy, but you know she loves Andy and hope
he realizes his feelings for her before it is too late!
NEW FAMILY DVDS
Looking for movies you can watch with your children? I have moved many of the
family-oriented DVDs to a
Family DVDs page. Here you will find wonderful DVDs you can enjoy with your entire
family -- no matter the age. You will find background information about the DVD, but there
are clips as well from Warner Bros. Enjoy!
BABYLON 5 MUSIC VIDEOS AND TRIBUTES
I found this message on the Babylon 5 moderated newsgroup this morning and just
had to post it so that others might enjoy the marvelous music videos created by
John Hudgens.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
As some of you may know, I was hired by Joe Straczynski back in the
day to create Babylon 5 music videos for him to use at science fiction
conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. Eight were
produced over the run of the series, not including the memorial videos
I did later for Rick Biggs and Andreas Katsulas.
For the longest time, the only way to see these was if Joe or I showed
them at a convention, but now, after numerous requests from fans over
the years, Joe has given me permission me to post these online.
- This is the extended version that I did for Andreas' widow ater the
original cut was released on the net. It's never been seen online
until now.
For those of you who've never seen these, I hope you enjoy them - and
for those that have (and emailed me many times over the years about
releasing them), I hope they're as good as you remember. Working with
Joe on these videos was one of the highlights of my career, and I'll
be forever grateful to him for the doors these have opened for me. I'm
proud to have them on my resume.
