--JMS sold a movie to Ron Howard. Its a thriller/mystery movie set in the 20s
in Los Angeles. They want to get it into production as fast as possible and JMS
is flying up there on the 3rd to meet with Ron Howard and those guys to go over
the script and make sure everything is where it needs to be. Its going to be a
big budget film. Ron Howard is a nice guy. The first time JMS had a phone
conference with him about the script, JMS called him Mr. Howard and the reply
was You hired my dad on Babylon 5, you can call me whatever you want.
Possibly it could be in production by the first part of next year.
--JMS was up in Toronto recently and they did a 12 episode radio drama series
for the CBC called the Adventures of Apocalypse Al. Its kind of a film noir
style comedy drama science fiction supernatural series a la Men In Black or
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Its in little 5 minute chunks and its
fall-down funny.
--A pilot for Touchstone has started for a dramatic prime time network series
called Borrowed Lives. It was actually sold last year but it was too late to go
into development but now theyre actually in the script stage.
--Rising Stars is in development with Sam Raimis production company for a
series.
--Midnight Nation is being bid on by two different studios for a movie.
--He pitched Dream Police to a major studio, they want to do a motion picture
and theyre negotiating now for JMS to write it.
--And theres something elseWB came to him as they do periodically wanting to
do something with B5. They asked if he wanted to do a feature film but JMS
declined mainly because he cant yet picture structuring a B5 movie as long as
Andreas and Rick insist on staying dead. Maybe in a year or two hell be able
to but right now he cant do something big. What JMS suggested was a bunch of
short filmslittle mini-movies, an anthology show set in the Babylon 5 universe.
They said, Okay. Theres a network already interested in carrying them but
theyre also planned for direct to DVD. This will be Babylon 5 The Lost
Tales, a lot of small stories that never made it into the series that hes
rediscovered notes for. And JMS wants no interference, complete creative
support in writing. They said, Okay. And JMS wants to direct them. They
said, Okay. The first will be three individual stories about three of the
main characters (to be determined). The plan is to shoot in September,
post-production Oct.-Dec. and theyll probably come out the second quarter of
2007.
