Pilot order for Bob From Corporate

This just in and hot of the presses SyFy is in the process of developing a pilot for a new sci-fi series currently titled Bob from Corporate.

James Middleton, who worked on the axed way too soon Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and Jamie Paglia are on as Executive Producers. Currently not much is know about the show other than the following:

Corporate is a secret government organization that investigates strange scientific incidents and goings on. The groups leader is a strong personality whose stance on morality could be considered to be detrimental. And he likes to blow stuff up (so we’d get along swimmingly).

Sounds like fun they’ll be more news as it’s available.

Man I am so damned excited now if all things work out I’ll finally get to meet ZACK STENTZ!

Heck maybe…nah…well maybe…there I go thinking out loud again.

Zack wrote imho some of the very best episodes of T:SCC and he’s still writing for television and movies with writing partner ASHLEY MILLER.

Perhaps you saw a tiny movie called THOR or another little flick called X-Men First Class?

Yeah…that’s my dudes right there.

Don’t forget to check out The NoFateCon Website where you can find out more about this excellent event!

Looking Back to: Face/Off

Ah 1997.

I had two jobs.

A certainty of a roof over my head, and Judgment day was right around the corner. However before the bombs fell we were about to be treated to Director John Woo’s domestic masterpiece Face/Off!

I’ve been a follower of John Woo for a very long time, I at one time or another have owned copies on VHS or DVD all of his better known Hong Kong films. A Better Tomorrow, A Better Tomorrow 2, Once A Thief, The Killer, and his magnum opus Hard Boiled which I still own on Dragon Dynasty’s 2-Disc Set. I’m also a huge defender of the sometimes maligned Windtalkers and Broken Arrow and Mission Impossible 2 I’d throw on the dvd player at any time.

However Face/Off is the closest the John Woo ever came to his Hong Kong brand of film making one that even garnered its own term for the balletic blood soaked battles that for the life of me isn’t coming to mind at the moment. However, the story itself has a few similarities to his previous works, and the trailer certainly grabbed my attention on first viewing. Let’s check it out…then after the break we’ll discuss some of the more awesome aspects about the film.

Tomorrow: Something is Going to Surface

And it’s going to be fun!

So what exactly is the Digital Restoration Project?

Let’s just say that I’ve been going through some boxes full of old stuff and finding old pictures, and drawing books full of old art from multiple unfinished projects.

So I decided to take digital pictures of all these things because I don’t have access to a scanner and I’m going to be sharing them with you all through the Digital Restoration Project.

You’ll be seeing a LOT of photos of Terminator 3 stand-ins, and some truly awesome shots of me from the very day Terminator 3 premiered in theaters- including the only shots of me in character as John Connor…scar and all!

There will also be concept art from my original T3 Fanscript T3: Final Retribution, Deep Pulse, Jurassic Park: New Dawn and even more!

So get ready for a blast from the past…and a look into the future!

I had a bit of spare time lying around so I chose to make a video play through of one of my favorite games with a twist. Instead of commenting on what i was doing in the game I would comment on screenwriting and writing in general and in and around the Portal Universe.

I only have the first two parts up at the moment and I’ll put the first one in the post itself.

It’s possible I might have the whole thing all uploaded by tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy and find it informative.
