If you do have time to write about the changes in how the final scene wound up being shot and edited, I would be interested to read that.

Hopefully that will be coming today - I just haven't found the time to scan those production stills that I want to post. Plus in the coming days I still have to go back and explain the differences in a few other scenes - and scan some stuff for them as well...


For the most part, it is very well cast. Marley Shelton, Matt Czuchry and Jessica Chastain have certainly lived up to the promise they showed here.

Definitely!

It would be have been interesting to see where the series would have gone from here. Would any of it be retooled? Would Barnabas and Julia have any chemistry? And who would be cast as Sarah, Professor Stokes and Sam and Maggie?

Double sigh!! [santa_sad] [santa_sad]

Just wanted to drop in and say that this was so wonderful, MB!  I really appreciate your time, energy and effort.  I'm sorry I wasn't around more to enjoy it step-by-step, but I am glad I got to read the script so I have some idea of what we've all been missing these years!  Thanks for the amazing effort!  It was quite the ride!

Hopefully that will be coming today

Well, I didn't get to it after all - and believe it or not, I still have one last Christmas party to go to tomorrow. But after that my time should get back to being normal. Or at least as normal as my time gets...

No worries MB if you don't get to it.  With all the work you've done on this, you more than deserve a break!

Best,

G.

Is the '04 Pilot ever going to be available for view?

(Or, has it probably been on YouTube or some other place I don't normally surf for 4 years?) [santa_rolleyes]

Nothing to report except that I am swooning over today's frame grab. Thank you, thank you to whoever is responsible for posting this!

There are a few snippets, Patti, on youtube.  I've seen them before.  They might be gone by now.  You-know-who is always ready to get the army of lawyers out.

That would be me.  [easter_smiley]  And I hope to get back to this topic to post the stuff that I never had the chance to while this slideshow was wrapping up last year.

Although in this case it's more likely to be Warner Brothers because DCP doesn't own the pilot, WB does...

MB, you don't know the powers you-know-who has!  Mmmmwwwwaaaaahhhhhaaaaa!  No network can overcome them!

Of course, I'm just having some fun.

But on a more kvetching tone, I just can't figure out whoever owns anything DS is so anal-retentive about anything appearing anywhere - it's not like anyone can any money from not releasing in whatever form, for example the '04 version.  Keeping it locked up won't advance the franchise.  Put it out there, let people see it, and become interested.  They'll want more.  They'll pay for the DVD's of the OS, of '91, et. al.  I guess these "marketers" know more than I do.

If the rights to the '04 pilot are owned by WB, it may indeed be a cold day in hell before the material ever sees the light of day.  I had tea with a friend yesterday who was telling me that Warners has become notorious for not allowing material of their to be streamed or available in digital formats.  They can be really tenacious about keeping under lock and key stuff they haven't licensed, for whatever reason.

I don't think it has to do with DCP at this point.

I wonder if we'd ever be able to see it at a fest again. It would be great for the 50th anniversary.

We'll see. It may depend on how much available time there is in the schedule.

The Collinsport Historical Society just posted (or re-posted?) a digital form of a 2005 Fangoria article about the pilot:
