L.A., Here I Come!

Hey there gang. I'm flying down to Los Angeles this Wednesday Dec. 16th and returning Sunday Dec. 20th. Unfortunately since I don't have a laptop there's no way I can post any new updates until I return on Sunday. I'll be posting an update Tuesday night, then the next will be Sunday evening.

Please hang in there until I get back. As you can tell from some of the scoops and exclusive reports I'll be posting today and tomorrow, I've been lucky enough to speak to a ton of people in the last week about the very cool projects they've been developing, and hopefully I'll have even more to report when I get back from the City of Angels.

My main reason for hitting L.A. this week is to interview the creators of WB Kids' forthcoming animated series Batman Beyond (Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and Alan Burnett) for an upcoming issue of Wizard that'll appear early next year. Those of you that have seen Batman: The Animated Series know I'm not kidding when I say this opportunity is waaaay too cool. There's no way I'd turn it down; those of you that haven't seen an episode of B:TAS, well, just accept it: it's very cool.

I'm also hoping to have the chance to cover some other cool productions like Mystery Men, Wild, Wild West, the Disney projects Sailor Moon and Gen 13, anything Star Wars, try to find out what's happening with Dan Gilroy's lastest version of Superman Lives ("Hello? Mr. Peters? Uh, you got five minutes??") and anything else I can find out about fun stuff in development.

This is where you step in: if you're working on one of those projects, or you have something else you consider cool you'd like me to see, email me by Tuesday night or call (604) 517-4405 and leave me a message. Even if it's not comic book related, remember that everything type of film is covered on CA. I'll be checking my messages to see if anyone's interested. If you're not working in Hollywood: please hang in there until I return. I know it'll be four days but trust me when I say that the wait will be worth it.

Until then, here's a weird scoop I received today. Since the film is in the Archives section you probably would have missed the scoop had I posted it on the film's page. Anyone working in the projectionist's booth hear the same?

Thanks gang, and I'll see you Sunday evening...
