To counter the sad news about Don Davis yesterday, I thought I'd post some good fannish news.



Galactica Sitrep is reporting casting rumors, for the direct-to-Dvd movie. Dean Stockwell, Hogan, Trucco, Grace Park, and Katee... Looks like the BSG movie is going to be Cylon heavy. Excellent. Caprica or New Caprica setting, maybe? (they're supposed to be the past - though I suppose that was the old rumor, so that may not be true). It'll be hard to do a Cylon movie without Tricia, but I suppose they'll have to make do, since she's so busy.

And this may be the only time I'm grateful that "Man of her dreams" doesn't have a pick-up yet,
because that may mean Trucco's available.



Dependent on lack of SAG strike, of course. Though there's a whole lot less will for it this time, I think. As they quoted one of the WGA members in the paper today, "Sure, I'd love to support them. As long as I can do it from where I work." Feel the love, people!

Today I saw some film shoot transforming a local park into a place to go SLEDDING. Man-made snow (not Fake snow, mind you, there was a giant ice truck there) and toboggans. Yes, this is why movies and even commercials cost a million dollars for 30 seconds....

What a fantastic show of labor solidarity! [edited to be clear that this statement is dripping in sarcasm]

I haven't been following much, though. Is this strike fatigue speaking, or does SAG have less to stand on than the WGA?

Mostly strike fatigue and worse economy I'm sure. But part of the reason for the SAG solidarity was to get a good framework for their own negotiations, which they now have. I'm not sure the writers are down with the idea of supporting SAG striking to get an even better one than they have for themselves...

But the other actors' union (AFTRA) votes on the proposal next week and if it passes, I doubt there'll be a strike, because SAG knows they'd face a public relations nightmare.
