(You may be getting this twice. Yahoo is taking forever to send me the first copy to approve so I'm sending a second one out -- just in case.)
JMS AND NEWSGROUPS
I am sad to say that yesterday JMS posted a note in the
Babylon 5 Newsgroup that indicated he will no longer be posting information for
fans there. To read the entire posting, go to JMS Speaks. For those of us who
frequent the newsgroup, having an exchange with JMS was a privledge we can not
understate. It is sad that this has taken place and I hope JMS will find other
means to stay in touch with his fans.
Due to JMS' even crazier than usual schedule --
appearances at Heroes Con in North Carolina and San Diego Comicon, the sale of
his latest script to Universal Studios and Ron Howard, and a little something
JMS plans to announce this week -- (whew!) we've given him a break and
scheduled Volume 9 for release in the second half of August.
Look for an announcement with the exact date soon.
The timing couldn't work out better, however, because we
have something very special this month....
JUST ANNOUNCED FOR JULY
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES LTD. EDITION PRINT
The Declaration of Principles Limited Edition Print,
signed and numbered by J. Michael Straczynski is being released Monday, July 31
at 10:00 A.M. Pacific. Only 500 will be available.
The Declaration of Principles is widely considered the
strongest single piece of writing from the five year history of
It has been used as the centerpiece of marriage ceremonies
and religious festivals, at churches and synagogues and fan gatherings.
At a time and in a culture often divided and at odds with
itself on a hundred different subjects, the Declaration of Principles sounds a
clarion call for unity, proclaims the value of each voice, and reminds us of
the single greatest truth to emerge from Babylon 5: that we are one.

Welcome to Show #25!
Tim and Summer dive deep into episode discussion again
with “Eyes” and “Legacies”.
In “Eyes”, the political backlash from some of Commander
Sinclair’s command decisions come home to roost, in the form of an official
Internal Investigation. Colonel Ari Ben-Zayn intends to probe the current
command staff to test their loyalties and their protocols as a means to put
himself in command of the station, but his vindictive power play backfires,
thanks to the integrity of his reluctant assistant, a Psi Corps operative named
Harriman Gray. And yes, we talk about the Kawasaki Ninja. Za ba ga bee.
In “Legacies”, the discovery of a burgeoning new telepath
puts Ivanova and Talia at odds with each other, and relations between Earth and
the Minbari become strained when the body of a respected Minbari Warleader
disappears while on a stopover at the station. We see in Susan and Talia how
deeply ingrained their passions for Psi Corps run, in the lengths they’ll try
to go in order to get the new telepath’s choice to fall their way, and we meet
Neroon for the first time.
Listener Feedback: Tim, Summer and Jeff address more than
a few listener emails and comments that want to know all about The Vorlon: Tim
reads emails from Shelly asking how Jeff made Kosh glide so well; Edmund has
comments on negotiation tactics used in “By Any Means Necessary”; Jack is
curious about Vorlon motivations to get involved with humans; and Jim wants to
know what Vorlons eat.

DVD REVIEWS:
Superman Story Look, Up in the Sky!: The Amazing Story of
Superman
Review:
I love Superman! Short and sweet. I grew up watching
George Reeves as Superman and even met him at a personal appearance near
This DVD from Warner Bros. follows the legend of Superman
from its earliest stages -- from creation in the 1930s by Jerry Siegel and Joe
Shuster to the latest SUPERMAN RETURNS movie. It was wonderful seeing the
progress made from early drawings to comic books, to radio, serials, television,
and eventually the big screen. Listening to the early radio dramas, you wonder
if they would again be popular as podcasts! I know that I would listen!
Interviews conducted add significantly to the background
of the character. Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Bill Mumy (Babylon 5 and Lost in
Space) and Gene Simmons (musician and comic fan) talk about growing up with
Superman as a hero, you see that the character is not just an American hero --
but to the world! The spots by Jack Larson, Noel Neill, Margo Kidder, Brian
Singer, Stan Lee and others provide insights into how the original series and
movies were made.
This is a MUST for any SUPERMAN fan. This documentary
provides a well-rounded view of the character and how he has been portrayed on
the big screen -- as well as the TV and radio. The movies were not always good,
and that fact was not glossed over.
For more information about this DVD -- and some wonderful
clips from the folks at the WB, go to Superman.

WHAT’S NEW IN SCIENCE FICTION:
LOST/DAY BREAK
ABC announced yesterday that LOST would return for a third
season on Oct. 4 in its regular Wednesday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot. It will run
without repeats until Nov. 15. LOST will then take a 13-week break, to be
replaced by DAY BREAK, a new take on GROUNDHOG DAY, in the same timeslot. LOST
returns in the spring to wrap up the season without a break.
DAY BREAK
Producers of ABC's DAY BREAK told reporters that the show
will center on a cop, played by Taye Diggs, who finds himself repeating the
same, awful day over and over again for the 13 episodes of the first season.
"The season is a day," executive producer Paul Zbyszewski (After the
Sunset) told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
"So in 13 episodes we have a payoff, a big payoff. And the following
season would be another day. I mean, it could be three months later; it could
be six months later, the point being [that] Hopper [Diggs] would be at another
crossroads in his life, different set of circumstances, and, you know, chaos
happens." The description provided by ABC of this unorthodox series is:
Diggs plays Detective Brett Hopper, who is accused of
killing Asst. D.A. Alberto Garza. He will offer a solid alibi that no one will
believe, then realize he's been framed. And he will run, discovering en route
that not only he, but also his loved ones, are in danger. He'll then wake up
and relive the same day over and over again. In order to break the cycle and
move on, he will have to figure out who framed him and solve the complex
mystery surrounding Garza's death. He will also be forced to heal the fractured
relationships with those he loves. Only when Harper figures out why his life is
broken and how to fix it will he awaken to a brand new day.
The producers have a plan to keep viewers coming back.
"There's a season arc, and ... there's a conspiracy behind what's
happening to Taye's character, Hopper," said executive producer Jeffrey
Bell (Angel). "And as he goes through that, he's going to have to get
pieces of the puzzle and solve those. So the way we're designing the episodes
is each episode will have ... a certain criterion. There will be a beginning, a
middle and end to each episode so that, as Hopper progresses, ... yes, it's one
day, but each day is kind of a blank slate."
For Diggs, it will be a challenge keeping each of the day's
threads straight in his mind. "It's quite a challenge," Diggs said.
He added: "The idea of being forced to go all these different places
emotionally under the amount of stress that this character is under, I thought,
was something that, one, I'd never done before, and, two, I was definitely up
to that challenge. So I'm excited about it." DAY BREAK also stars Victoria
Pratt, Adam Baldwin, Moon Bloodgood and Meta Golding. It premieres Nov. 15 and
will air for 13 consecutive weeks in the Wednesday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot
vacated by LOST.
SMALLVILLE
Aaron Ashmore, twin brother of X-MEN star Sean Ashmore, is
joining the cast of SMALLVILLE as Jimmy Olsen. The character will get romantic
in the show's upcoming sixth season. "He's also going to be a love interest
for Chloe [Allison Mack]," Ashmore said in an interview at the Television

STEVEN SPIELBERG PROJECTS
Steven Spielberg recently conducted an interview with
www.spielbergfilms.com in which he discussed various upcoming films. Here are
the highlights:
- Spielberg was never offered ANGELS AND DEMONS, and he
would never do it even if he was offered it.
- David Koepp is currently writing the script for INDIANA
JONES 4. Darabont's screenplay for the film will not be used.
- Jo Johnson is standing by and has first dibs to direct
JURASSIC PARK IV.
- The script for Spielbergs LINCOLN project is still being
written with an expected start in September/October of 07'.
- He had high praise for everything he saw thus far from
TRANSFORMERS.
- Spielberg's upcoming sci-fi space film has a working
title of INTERSTELLAR and a treatment has been written by Dr. Kip Thorne.
Virginia Madsen, out promoting her upcoming CBS TV series,
SMITH, also provided some information on THE NUMBER 23, in which she co-stars
with Jim Carrey. She says the movie is a dark journey into the mind of a man
who's losing touch with reality. "It's very dark and scary. This is going
to be such an important film for Jim, because he was so ready to be this. Jim
was never really a standup comic, really. Jim's always's been an actor."
Madsen said that she has wanted to work with Carrey for years, but not in a
comedy. In THE NUMBER 23, Madsen plays the wife of a man (Carrey) who begins to
see similarities between his life and a book. "It's basically this man's
descent into madness, as he slowly loses his mind, and I'm trying to pull him
back from the brink," she said. Madsen added: "He's going into this
other world as he's reading a book called THE NUMBER 23. And he starts to think
that the book is about him, because of all these similarities. Then he's
convinced that it is him. Then he's convinced that this is being done to him.
So he's madly trying to find out who's to blame and becomes suspicious of me,
and he just gets darker and darker and darker. And you go into the world that
he's seeing as you read the book, too. So visually [there's] all this wild
stuff�"it's [director] Joel Schumacher�" ... it's all these weird worlds that you
go into and stuff. It's going to be very cool." THE NUMBER 23 is slated
for release in February 2007.
GHOST WHISPERER
Jennifer Love Hewitt, star of CBS' GHOST WHISPERER,
confirmed that Camryn Manheim would join the cast as a regular, replacing Aisha
Tyler, and that Jay Mohr would make a recurring appearance in the upcoming
second season. During an interview at the Television Critics Association summer
press tour, Hewitt said, "We have some new people coming, which is going
to be great. We have Camryn Manheim joining the show, which we're really
excited about. And Jay Mohr [Action] is going to be on for a while. So we have
really good guest stars this year. And people that are, I think, going to kind
of make the cast more exciting. And it's been really good. We've been back to
work for a week now." Manheim (The Practice) arrives as Tyler�"who played
Andrea, the best friend of Hewitt's Melinda�"departs, her character having
appeared to die in last season's finale. "There are some changes"
coming in the second season, Hewitt said. "Obviously, Melinda's world
changed a lot ... in the season finale, with the supposed death of Andrea. I
don't think the audience should be quite expecting what they think they're
going to expect, I'll just leave it that way." Hewitt added that her
character, who can see spirits and help them cross over, has changed since the
show's pilot. "learned a lot about Melinda," she said. "I mean,
Melinda really went through a lot. ... Definitely, for the first half of the
season, she was just sort of this happy-go-lucky girl who was very much trying
to be normal and kind of convince people that, although she had this fantastic
gift, that she was really just like a very kind of humble newlywed antique
store owner. As the season went on, I think that got more difficult for her to
realize. I think she kind of felt overwhelmed. There [were] definitely some
moments that it was hard for her marriage: ... A husband kind of watching his
wife go out and sort of do this thing and be in danger is kind of tough. And by
the end of the season, I think Melinda had no idea what her [life] was anymore.
And neither did I for her. ... I had gotten very used to playing a character a
certain way, and the last three episodes, they kind of threw me these episodes,
where they were like, 'OK, we'll see what you want do with her now.' And I was
like, 'Aah!' Which is fine, because that's, I think, ... very much how she
felt. And now this season, ... [she's]�"I don't want to say jaded�"[but] I think
she's just a little more aware that maybe her job isn't always a gift. And
that'll be kind of her challenge." GHOST WHISPERER returns in the fall and
will air in its regular Friday timslot at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
JERICHO
There are a number of shows coming up this year that will
bear watching. One is JERICHO, a post-apocalyptic series starring Gerald
McRaney. At a recent press interview, McRaney downplayed reporters' questions
that the series was a response to a particular climate of fear engendered by
the current unstable world situation. "I was a kid when the Cuban missile
crisis was on," McRaney said. "My father was a small child when World
War I was on. There has always been this feeling of a dread. It doesn't
paralyze us, but it's always there. So I don't think right now, today, is that
remarkably different from 1918, 1962, this time last year, or this time 100
years ago. There's always that sense that something remarkably bad could happen
to us, and we will have to cope with all the trappings of civilization
disappearing." JERICHO takes place in a small Kansas town whose residents,
including McRaney's mayor and his constituents, find themselves cut off from
the outside world after they witness a mushroom cloud in the distance.
"This is just another example of 'How would people cope with a situation
like that happening?'" McRaney said. Jon Turtletaub�"the filmmaker (While
You Were Sleeping) who executive-produces JERICHO�"said that he didn't view the
series as apocalyptic. "We have a nuclear bomb, I see, in our promotional
[ads]," he said. "But, so far, we know two bombs have gone off [in
the pilot]. And it's a little centric to think that if, say, five went off in
the United States, that destroys the world. ... The notion of this type of
thing happening, truly, for us, ... is not relevant to our times. If you
remember when, whether it was War of the Worlds came out in the '30s, ...
[that's] far more close to what that paranoia, that sense of [distrust], that
sense of 'What's out there that can hurt us?' that, I think, has been a notion
of humanity for a long time." JERICHO, which also stars Skeet Ulrich,
Sprague Grayden and Ashley Scott, premieres in the fall and will air Wednesdays
at 8 p.m. ET/PT
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
For the second week running, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN:
DEAD MAN'S CHEST has sailed away with the #1 spot at the box office. Taking in
$62.2 million at the box office, it has become the year's top-grossing film.
The sequel's 10-day total is now at about $258.2 million, according to studio
estimates. DEAD MAN'S CHEST shot past X-Men: The Last Stand, which has taken in
$232 million in eight weeks. The PIRATES sequel has grossed an additional $125
million overseas. By next weekend, DEAD MAN'S CHEST should climb past the $305
million domestic total rung up by its predecessor, 2003's Pirates of the
Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
GRACE
Oscar winner Holly Hunter is in negotiations to topline
TNT's drama pilot GRACE. GRACE, from Fox TV Studio, centers on a jaded Oklahoma
City police detective (Hunter) who is visited by an irascible angel and offered
an opportunity to redeem her life. Nancy Miller penned the script for the
project, which was picked up to pilot almost a year ago. Miller is executive
producing GRACE with Fox TV Studio-based producer Gary Randall. Artie
Mandelberg serves as producer. GRACE comes on the heels of the breakout success
of TNT's drama THE CLOSER. The series starring Kyra Sedgwick has emerged as the
most-watched cable series. Hunter has been nominated for an Academy Award four
times, most recently for "thirteen" in 2003, and won for best lead
actress in 1994 for "The Piano." On the big screen, she most recently
appeared in Rodrigo Garcia's indie "Nine Lives." She last appeared
onstage in 2004 in Marina Carr's "By the Bog of Cats" in London.
BOND 22
According to the Hollywood Reporter, U.K. director Roger
Michell is currently in negotiations to direct the follow-up to the upcoming
film CASINO ROYALE. The follow up has a working title of BOND 22 and is
supposedly based on an idea from original Bond producer Michael WIlson. No
writer has been picked to write the script as of yet. The sequel would star
Daniel Craig as Agent 007. Michell has directed ENDURING LOVE, which starred
Craig, NOTTING HILL and CHANGING LANES. CASINO ROYALE is scheduled for release
November 17.

made-for-television movie scheduled for Wednesday, July 26 at 9 p.m. Here's how
Sci Fi describes the movie:
"From the creator of X-Men and Spider-Man, comes the
story of Daniel Leight, a government agent who discovers he has super powers as
a result of a lab accident caused by an international terrorist, who happens to
be Leight's former college roommate. The terrorist, a classic comic-book
villain, has the skin, eyes and proportionate strength and reflexes of a snake.
Leight's super speed and agility are now the only things that can stop his once
old friend and save the world from destruction."
Jason Connery stars as Daniel Leight. The film also
features Nicole Eggert, Daniel Goodard and Lee Majors.

Andrew Cosby via their Boom Entertainment Inc. TAG is set in motion when an
average Joe strolls down the street after a fight with his girlfriend when a
random stranger tags him, handing off an ancient pagan curse. He begins to
literally die, seeing his body begin to decompose every day before his very
eyes. Cursed, he must either surrender or find the next victim to tag.
