No JMS Post in 2 Months?

[SmileOfTheShadow]

What do you think's up?

I just assumed he was busy. What with all the film and TV stuff we know about or he's hinted at, plus the move to writing for DC as well as Marvel.

locked in the trailer until he signs all the volume 15s! at least that's what I hope because it's getting close to late April

I've been wondering the same thing. Although looking at his posts over the years it isn't his first lengthy absence. Hopefully when he returns JMS will have some Lost Tales news!

Same thought here ^^

Well, with him being at Emerald City in May, hopefull we'll get some news then. I had noticed his absence as well. I'm sure it's because he's swamped.

I've got a note for him up at the moderated newsgroup because he's still listed as a guest but there's no panels listed for him. I sent an email to the con, too, but no reply yet.

I'm somewhat new to this board, and hence the moderated posts from JMS. Is this typical for him? I got the feeling from discussions, and my past several months here that he he does regularly post.

I think this is a first for skipping an entire two months. For a while now he's mostly been just posting updates, though, so maybe there's nothing he can talk about yet? Hopefully he'll have pleny to tell us in Seattle.

I wish he was reading forums where they talk crap about his comics or something so he could write one of those replies ripping it to shreds

Those are fun. Last I think I saw was his replying to somebody on Newsarama that he was glad somebody was picking up Supreme Power.

Busy May: Emerald City ComiCon and Festival de Cannes

Let us hope that Joe recovers from signing thousands upon thousands of covers in the bunker, since the month of May could be a VERY busy month for Joe. He is currently listed as a guest for Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, Washington the weekend of May 10-11, 2008. There is a possibility that Changeling will make its debut at Festival de Cannes (AKA the Cannes Film Festival) which runs from May 14-25, 2008.

Fortunately, British Airways has a direct flight from Seattle, Washington to Marseille, France on May 13, 2008 just in time for the opening ceremony. First class seats are still available. Marseille is only a two hour drive from Cannes.

I'd skip driving, and go for business class on Rail Europe for about $65 USD. They run about every half hour from Marseille to Cannes. It would take longer than 2 hours by car.

Changeling at Cannes

Looks like Changeling will première at Cannes - in competition, no less!

Clint's 'Changeling' set for Cannes

So better book that flight.

As for JMS, either he or someone doing a passable imitation of him posted to the World War Z board at IMDB last week admonishing script traders

Guys, here's a simple question.

Do you want to see this film made, or just talk about the script?

Studios get very nervous when drafts leak out, and they get even more nervous when people start taking it apart, good or bad, online...it can make them think too many people have seen it, start reconsidering their opinions, and the next thing you know it's back in development hell or gone. I've seen several projects at this sensitive stage literally scuttled by such things.

If all you want is to talk about the script, then great...but if you want to see Max Brooks' novel brought to film, brought to life, and maybe make one of the best zombie movies in a long time, can we declare a moratorium on both analyses and passing around my script (which people shouldn't have in any event) until AFTER the film gets made?

Thanks.

Yeah, good luck with that one Joe.

If I understand it correctly. Though acknowledge I could be well wrong on this. Was the moderated group not essentially part of the experiment of showing how B5 was being made. As thatÆs done and dusted (until more TLTÆs appear) he is now more inclined to post on other sites û more movie orientated now. Which is understandable.
