February 18, 2018: The Stargate Initiative!
"What do you know, Joe?"fans have started asking, given the timing of my recent blog posts. To be honest, I just know - and can infer - only as much as you. The launch of stargatecommand.co and the production and premiere of Stargate: Origins is, clearly, the first step in the return of an all-new…
February 17, 2018: Stargate possibilities
I know, I know. You're sitting there, re-reading yesterday's blog entry, thinking to yourself: "Surely rebooting the franchise wouldn't be that big a deal. The longtime fans who invested so much in those 17 seasons of television history - the characters, the technology, the worlds created for SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe - would get over it.…
February 16, 2018: Stargate – the next step!
Recently, I've been asked my thoughts on the immediate future of Stargate. Specifically, with the release of the Stargate: Origins web series (you can check it out here at StargateCommand) fans want to know: "Where do we go from here?" Well, to be honest, my opinion hasn't really changed since I wrote this blog entry…
February 15, 2018: Stargate pics and musings!
Alas, those seemingly inaccessible hard drives, once accessible, were a bust. Mostly whale footage and videos of Special Features Producer Ivon Bartok's trip to Dominica. On the bright side, I was reminded that there are a couple of other more promising hard drives in my storage locker. Now it's just a matter of finding them.…
February 12, 2018: Food for thought and assorted goodies!
Kicking off today's blog entry with a link to a terrific article that appeared on Gateworld.net yesterday: "How would you feel if a theater ushered you out of your seat with 30 minutes of the movie still left? Would you come back?" Syfy Owes Fans A Bigger Commitment "If a serialized show is on the…
February 11, 2018: Stargate Playback, Previs and Animatics!
Well, this is pretty cool! Puddle Jumper diagnostic playback. Atlantis "Rising" opening shot - previs. Taking Flight previs. Antarctic Outpost Reveal - animatic. Heads Up! animatic.
February 10, 2018: The Stargate Concept Art of James Robbins!
So the other day, I came across an old hard drive containing a slew of Stargate-related visuals: concept art, designs, previs. It's actually about 0.5% of the library of BTS pics and vids sitting in my storage unit, much of it somewhat inaccessible due to the fact that the technology is incredibly old and lacking…
February 1, 2018: Taking a trip down Stargate memory lane!
Over the past couple of days, I've been going through some old blog posts, taking a trip down Stargate memory lane, and sharing some of the BTS pics on twitter. Here are a few of the highlights... Me, ten years ago, plotting world domination...and Atlantis's fourth season. This awesome Asgard fan art adorned the production…
January 28, 2018: Smoooooth sailing!
Alright. I'm in full script mode. It usually takes me a few days of procrastinating and general agonizing before I hit my stride, but I've hit the ground running on this one. I figure two weeks to complete a first draft breaks down to roughly four pages a day. As tonight, I am three and…
Projects on the go!
When someone asks me about the projects I'm presently working on, I'll give them a brief rundown to which they'll invariably respond: "But what if they all go?" Yes, theoretically, it's possible that, say, multiple projects could receive a simultaneous green light but, realistically, it's more likely that none of them receive the go-ahead. Which…
December 23, 2017: The Ten Types of Writers You’ll Find in a Writers’ Room!
THE BIG IDEA-ER: This individual comes into the room with a vision, a big idea, sometimes a single visual, occasionally a cool plot twist, and will move heaven and earth to see it realized. In the hands of a pro, it will all come together in glorious fashion, but a lesser writer will drag the…
December 14, 2017: Shows I will absolutely, positively, FINALLY, check out in 2018! A Top 10 List!
TWIN PEAKS I loved the first season of this delightfully weird series; the second season less so. Never saw the prequel movie, but I'm all sorts of curious to check out the new, 20 years later, series that has been both revered and reviled...just like the original. VIKINGS This one looks epic. BLACK SAILS Pirates!…
October 26, 2017: Dark Matter’s Anthony Lemke joins Blindspot!
This upcoming season of Blindspot is going global - and Dark Matter's Anthony Lemke is joining the trek. Check out the BTS video for a sneak peek at international destinations, Blindspot creator and showrunner (and former Stargate Executive Producer and Dark Matter Consulting Producer) Martin Gero give us the rundown on season 3, and a…
October 18, 2017: Masked! More Dark Matter swag!
So, yes, in addition to the scheduled general meet and greets, I'll be teaming up with my friend (and former fellow Dark Matter Executive Producer) Vanessa Piazza to pitch Masked while in L.A. Editor Lou Anders assembled a diverse selection of tales that focus as much on the individuals behind the masks as they do…
