Quantum Leap stars Reunite for EnterpriseDean Stockwell looks set to reunite with his old friend Scott Bakula in a forthcoming episode of Enterprise. The episode to be titled “Detained”, will continue the Suliban storyline started in the pilot episode “Broken Bow”. Approximate US air date, May this year.
A Congenial Wonder Woman?Apparently the US rumour mill is spinning again that Miss Congeniality star Sandra Bullock is to star in the planned “Wonder Woman” feature film. No final confirmation on this, but wouldn’t it be fabulous if it was true?
Farscape goes from Strength to StrengthThe Sci-fi channel in the US has quite derservingly committed to at least a fifth season of Farscape. But now there are murmurings of a Feature film. Creator Rockne S. O’Bannon’s has two main concerns about such a project though...where to fit it in the series hectic filming schedule, and how to fit it into series continuity.Oh well, even if the film doesn’t come off, at least we can look forward to at least two more series of the lovely Ben Browder blazing across our screens in Leather. Now if only Channel 9 would actually let us see it, and in a decent time slot! Can but dream I s’pose. Blakes 7 on the Big Screen?Paul Darrow (Avon) is involved in a project to bring a Blakes TV Film to our screens. He is working closely with the Terry Nation Estate and this should ensure that the film remains true to Terry Nations original concept.Apparently this project is ready to go ahead. The stage that has been reached, is making a 'deal' with one of the number interested investors and deciding which TV distribution company would best serve the production. Simon Moorhead has joined the production team and Brian Lighthill is now a consultant. Lets all hope it will not be much longer before Blakes 7 reaches our screens again! |
Remakes: pleasant nostalgia -
Wonder Woman certainly isn’t the only remake of a classic series in the works by any means. The latest shows from our youth to be mooted for remakes include Battlestar Galactica, Logan’s Run, Time Tunnel, and Lost in Space. The last two could be fun, especially LIS. How about a geriatric Dr Smith mincing around after a 50 year old Will. Classic!! And who would be suitable replacements for James Darren and Robert Colbert of the Time Tunnel? My vote...Freddie Prinze Junior as Doug, and Kerr Smith (Jack, Dawsons Creek) as Tony...he has a James Darrenish look about him methinks, but cuter.
