Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Two more interesting tidbits: It looks like the other female lead will be Deanna Russo, another former soap star.

Also, the producers had lunch with the Hoff yesterday. Don't know what the outcome of that will be.

I called it, a few days ago. I have some inside information, and I pass things along when I can.

The chances are good that the NBC project will move forward and air in February. The script is done, casting is proceeding, etc.

The movie may be a bit more problematic due to the writer's strike, as no rewrites will be possible until it's resolved. Victor can probably shed some light on this.

Sydney Poitier as an FBI agent. You heard it here first.

Last I heard, the plan is to air the NBC pilot in February. As they say, subject to change without notice.

I don't want to come off like some pollyanna here, but your argument makes less sense when you realize that the Universal that you attribute these sinister motives to is really just a group or people trying to do a job. Do you really think that stopping Glen Larsen enters into their thinking as a re...

I agree with Viotor's assesment of the difference between movies and TV, in that movies have much bigger budgets and much more time, both of which can contribute to a superior experience, expecially in the action genre. The budget contraints for the Knight Rider TV movie have forced the producers to...

According to my source, shooting should be done by around the end of the year (if they can find an unburned area in So Cal to shoot) and we should see the telepic on the air by late winter-early spring.

Mommm! Victor hit me again!
If I have to come up to your room ONE MORE TIME....

I'm really sorry about all this, guys.

Musn't...do...it.....Vic, buddy, what piece of information was that?

Doh!

I'm REALLY sorry about all this, guys.

I completely agree; I, for one, am done. I will pass on information that I can, when I can.

If Limon is indeed out of the project as Shapeshifter implies then that would make the challenge of making the success of the pilot all the more challenging. Additionally, I have made comments about the NBC/Universal tv series that do not flatter it, that's my right as any other person with an opin...

Just to add something to the mix... I can't really speak to Universal's motivations; my contacts only extend to the production side of things. I can say that, knowing some of the people involved, I just doesn't make sense that Universal would be motivated to do a project to derail Glen Larson's movi...

I think "my point" is obvious. The statement I quoted from you is directly contradicted by the facts. After all, you're a big "facts vs speculation" guy, maybe you should keep your speculations to yourself. And, I'm not a studio plant. I just know a little more than the average g...

From Victor, earlier in this post: 'I don't believe you need an original cast to make a remake movie successful, you just need a strong plot that keeps the spirit of the original source material in tact. If you go too far with extreme changes or darker in subject matter, you run the risk of creating...

Let me restate, because I wasn't clear about this earlier. The writer for the NBC pilot is Dave Andron, that is correct, and verifiable through the original Variety article of Sept. 27th. The script that is for sale, based on the description given by the seller, is probably the same one I read a few...

...Over on imdb? Because it's completely wrong. It sounds like the synopsis for the original series, which bears no relation to the new series.

I've read the new script, and nothing about that description over at imdb is correct.

Good idea.

The script is not in final form, but had to be sent out for casting and location decisions. Someone got a hold of the PDF file and is trying to make a quick buck. This sale is NOT authorized by the writer or NBC--it is piracy. I would think NBC will do everything it can to stop this.
