While I was 1/2 watching last night’s episode of “Human Target” on Fox my ears perked up at a very distinctive drum banging noise, sure enough, I checked on IMDB and saw that Bear McCreary is in charge of scoring the Action series. The score is rather large and grand for the series, which is something that we would expect for Bear. “Human Target” airs on Tuesdays at 9 after American Idol on Fox.
Veteran scripters of J.J. Abram’s Fringe, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Andromeda, and the upcoming Kenneth Branagh-directed film version of Marvel Comics’ Thor Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz have been tapped to bring another comic book to the screen, Andrew Cosby and Jason Alexander’s Damn Nation.
The Hollywood Reporter describes Damn Nation as a “futuristic vampire” story set in a United States that has been overrun with nocturnal monsters. The comic book, set in bunkers near Buffalo, NY and labs in London, presents a vision of the country that has been sealed off with concrete barricades as people work frantically to deal with the plague of the undead.
So, with Daybreakers, Marc Foster’s adaptation of World War Z, Frank Darabont’s adaptation for AMC TV of the Robert Kirkman’s and Tony Moore’s comic book The Walking Dead and this project, have we reached saturation point yet? Or is there still some semblance of motor function left in the “undead, dystopian apocalypse” genre?
Variety has confirmed that Josh Friedman has landed a new job w/ ABC. Along with Drew Barrymore, Leonard Goldman, and Drew’s production company Flower Films – “Charlies Angels” will be returning to prime time.
Josh Friedman, who recently adapted the “Terminator” franchise for his Fox series “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” is onboard to write and exec produce the new “Angels.”
Leonard Goldman was the producer behind the original 70′s series.
I might be in the minority around here but I actually liked the 2 Charlies Angels films. The series success will depend on casting. With Dollhouse out of the way this could be the perfect vehicle to launch Summer Glau into superstardom. Let her play something somewhat different, cast her as the airhead in the group. *Hint Hint Josh*
I was lucky enough to be talking with one of my favorite scifi novelists the other day, and I asked him a question he didn’t know the answer to.
We were talking about a book he’d written, and I asked him if he’d tell me the answer to a Big Unanswered Question in the book. (I won’t say who this novelist is because I don’t have time to call him and ask him if I can quote him.)
NOVELIST: I can’t tell you, Josh. I don’t know the answer.
ME: Really? It’s like, a big unanswered question for the characters and for the reader.
NOVELIST: For me, as well. I don’t know.
Which lead us to this: there will always be a point in your world-building when the world you’ve built outgrows the scope of the story you’re telling. The edges are fuzzy; the next town over is mysterious. Perhaps you’ve hinted at something which suggests something else, which would really turn things on its fucking head IF you were to go down that path BUT YOU ARE NOT. (more…)
Bear will be at Comic Con for a bunch of different BSG events including being at the House of Blues all week for BSG concert series! Don’t miss him:
Richard Hatch: Battlestar Retrospective Panel
Comic Con Convention Center – Room 6A
12:30 – 1:30PM
Moderated by actor/author Richard Hatch (Tom Zarek, Capt Apollo), this panel includes writer / producer Michael Taylor, science advisor Kevin Grazier and myself, providing a review, discussion and Q&A of Battlestar’s past four seasons and dramatic ending.

Live Concert Performance Hosted by Edward James Olmos

House of Blues San Diego, 1055 Fifth Ave.

(the promotional password is “frak” for a cheaper rate!)
Each night of our shows will be a little different, but the THURSDAY NIGHT performance will be extra special. Not only is it the first place on Earth to get autographed season 4 CDs, but you’ll hear world-premiere performances of new Galactica music from “The Plan” before anyone else.
Oh, and the Thursday night show will feature an EXCLUSIVE SURPRISE PERFORMER: a guest pianist who will join me onstage for a duet of the pivotal piano music from Someone to Watch Over Me that she… well, I don’t want to spoil it. :)
This series of concerts will be the biggest I’ve ever done. The set list is literally TWICE as long as the concerts at The Roxy and California Plaza. We’re showing an exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming video documentaries on the BluRay release of Season 4.5, and you’ll see cast members discuss the music and what it brought to the series. All this and a slammin’ rock concert! This is not just a quick set, but an entire evening celebrating Battlestar Galactica. Come join us and help bring this music to life on stage!
