You still with us admin? What’s going on?
Yeah, it’s a little unusual to not have updates for this long, especially when there have been some news tidbits (Burning Bright, Last House) elsewhere. I wonder if everything is OK.
Admin, you there?
I’m pretty sure she is fine. I saw her post on another board just the other day.
Hey admin (is it cool to call you by that other name here?), when you do show up, could you just drop us a quick note to say if you’ve heard anything new about any upcoming projects? Films, TV, mystery projects, anything? I’ll even take unconfirmed rumours, as long as there’s *some* news. Theatre is nice and all, but it doesn’t exactly get released on DVD. (Really, take it on the road, people!)
Sorry for the lack of updates, guys. I was away and had limited computer time in the last 10 days or so, but I’ll definitely be catching up over the weekend.
Chiron, about the Burning Bright update: if it’s the article linked on the IMDb, those pics have been around for a while. Bloody Disgusting probably only discovered them last week. If it’s something else, please let me know so that I can put it on the site.
Vic, at this point you know as much as I do. As far as rumours are concerned, there was some talk of a pilot for a miniseries, but this was a while ago and it wasn’t set in stone even then as far as I know. The mystery project is still a mystery, unless it’s still posing under a different name on the IMDb. If that’s the case, there might be more info coming soon, just not before I see it confirmed somewhere.
Anyway, with the lack of major news updates, I’ll probably be hanging out more on the main part of the site for now, but will let you know as soon as I hear anything new.
Thanks for the info. I hope the miniseries works out, whatever it is.
